Description
Description: PCK1(Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, cytosolic) is also named as PEPCK1 and belongs to the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase [GTP] family. It catalyzes the formation of phosphoenolpyruvate from oxaloacetate, with the release of carbon dioxide and GDP. It is also a main control point for the regulation of gluconeogenesis. In eukaryotes there are two isozymes: a cytoplasmic one and a mitochondrial one. Defects in PCK1 are the cause of cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase deficiency (C-PEPCKD). This antibody is specific to PCK1.
Function: Catalyzes the conversion of oxaloacetate (OAA) to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), the rate-limiting step in the metabolic pathway that produces glucose from lactate and other precursors derived from the citric acid cycle.
Subunit Structure: Monomer.
Post-translational Modifications: Lysine acetylation by p300/EP300 is increased on high glucose conditions and promotes ubiquitination by UBR5, acetylation is enhanced in the presence of BAG6. Deacetylated by SIRT2. Ubiquitination by UBR5 leads to proteasomal degradation.
Similarity: Belongs to the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase [GTP] family
