Related to pyruvate carboxylase: gluconeogenesis

py·ru·vate car·box·yl·ase

ligase catalyzing reaction of ATP, pyruvate, and HCO₃^2-, 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.

Another noticeable finding is the higher expression of pyruvate carboxylase (PC) by rat beta cells.

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.
