DESCRIPTION

Also known as POXB_ECOLI, poxB. A peripheral cell membrane enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to form acetate and CO(2). It channels electrons from the cytoplasm to the respiratory chain at the cell membrane via ubiquinone (By similarity) (PubMed:18988747, PubMed:2663858, PubMed:365232). The main pathway for acetate production during stationary phase (PubMed:16080684). Homotetramer.
