Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Is Involved in the Decarboxylation of Aspartate in the Bundle Sheath of Maize [PDF]
, 1999 We recently showed that maize (Zea mays L.) leaves contain appreciable amounts of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK; R.P. Walker, R.M. Acheson, L.I. Técsi, R.C. Leegood [1997] Aust J Plant Physiol 24: 459–468).

The promoter polymorphism -232C/G of the PCK1 gene is associated with type 2 diabetes in a UK-resident South Asian population [PDF]
, 2009 Background: The PCK1 gene, encoding cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK-C), has previously been implicated as a candidate gene for type 2 diabetes (T2D) susceptibility.

Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Activity in Grape Berries [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1975 Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxykinase activity was found in crude extracts of ;Pinot noir' grape berries. The enzyme required ATP, Mn(2+) plus Mg(2+), a pH of 6.6, and a temperature of 40 C for maximum activity. The range in concentration of oxaloacetic acid needed for maximum phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activity was 5 to 10 mm, and the Km for ...

Comparison of pepck gene expression in developing seeds and leaves of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) plant [PDF]
Journal of Cell and Molecular Research, 2009 Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase, encoded by the pepck gene, plays an important role in gluconeogenesis. It also seems to be important in metabolism of nitrogenous compounds in developing seeds of legumes, including amides and ureides which are then ...

Consequences of Postnatally Elevated Insulin-Like Growth Factor-II in Transgenic Mice: Endocrine Changes and Effects on Body and Organ Growth. [PDF]
, 1994 Insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) is an important regulator of embryonic growth and differentiation, but its function in postnatal life is unclear. To address this point, we generated transgenic mice harboring fusion genes in which a human IGF-II

What Is the Metabolic Role of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase? [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2009 The enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP; EC 4.1.1.32) (PEPCK)2 has the unusual distinction of being very well studied but metabolically misunderstood. As we will document in this minireview, the enzyme has been almost exclusively linked to gluconeogenesis to the point that changes in the levels of PEPCK mRNA or its activity are associated ...

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Wild-type C. glutamicum ATCC 13032 is known to possess two enzymes with anaplerotic (C4-directed) carboxylation activity, namely phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCx) and pyruvate carboxylase (PCx). On the other hand, C3-directed decarboxylation can be
