Product Description: Pyruvate carboxylase is a biotin-containing enzyme that catalyzes the HCO3− and MgATP dependent carboxylation of pyruvate to form oxaloacetate. Pyruvate carboxylase plays an essential role in controlling whole-body energetics through regulation of gluconeogenesis in the liver, synthesis of fatty acids in adipocytes, and insulin secretion in pancreatic β cells[1][2].
