PCB Polyclonal Antibody

catalytic activity:ATP + pyruvate + HCO(3)(-) = ADP + phosphate + oxaloacetate.,cofactor:Binds 1 manganese ion per subunit.,cofactor:Biotin.,disease:Defects in PC are the cause of pyruvate carboxylase deficiency (PC deficiency) [MIM:266150]. PC deficiency leads to lactic acidosis, mental retardation and death. It occurs in three forms: mild or type A, severe neonatal or type B, and a very mild lacticacidemia.,function:Pyruvate carboxylase catalyzes a 2-step reaction, involving the ATP-dependent carboxylation of the covalently attached biotin in the first step and the transfer of the carboxyl group to pyruvate in the second. Catalyzes in a tissue specific manner, the initial reactions of glucose (liver, kidney) and lipid (adipose tissue, liver, brain) synthesis from pyruvate.,online information:Pyruvate carboxylase entry,pathway:Carbohydrate biosynthesis; gluconeogenesis.,similarity:Contains 1 ATP-grasp domain.,similarity:Contains 1 biotin carboxylation domain.,similarity:Contains 1 biotinyl-binding domain.,similarity:Contains 1 carboxyltransferase domain.,subunit:Homotetramer.,
