Related to pyruvate carboxylase: gluconeogenesis

py·ru·vate car·box·yl·ase

ligase catalyzing reaction of ATP, pyruvate, and HCO32-, to form ADP, orthophosphate, and oxaloacetate; biotin and acetyl-CoA are involved; an absence of this enzyme results in neuronal loss in the cerebral cortex, leading to mental retardation.

Furthermore, an increase in pyruvate carboxylase (PC) activity is evident under glutamate-overproducing conditions, which may lead to an increase in carbon flux from pyruvate to oxaloacetate.
