Pyruvate carboxylase and cancer progression [PDF]
Cancer & Metabolism, 2021 Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the ATP-dependent carboxylation of pyruvate to oxaloacetate (OAA), serving to replenish the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle.

Clinical, biochemical, and molecular profiles of three Sri Lankan neonates with pyruvate carboxylase deficiency [PDF]
Advances in Laboratory MedicinePyruvate carboxylase, a mitochondrial enzyme, catalyses the conversion of glycolytic end-product pyruvate to tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediate, oxaloacetate. Rare pyruvate carboxylase deficiency manifests in three clinical and biochemical phenotypes:

The long noncoding RNA ADIPINT regulates human adipocyte metabolism via pyruvate carboxylase [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Adipocyte-expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to regulate the transcription of genes involved in lipid metabolism. Here the authors describe a human adipocyte-specific lncRNA, ADIPINT, which regulates lipid metabolism in white ...
