FAMILY

phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase [GTP] family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as PCKG_MYCTA, pckG. Involved in the gluconeogenesis, in growth on fatty acids and is important for initiation of infection in the macrophages. Catalyzes the GTP-dependent 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. Monomer.
