Product Description: Oxaloacetate decarboxylase catalyzes the irreversible decarboxylation of oxaloacetate to pyruvate and COIC2. Oxaloacetate decarboxylase is a member of the sodium ion transport decarboxylase (NaT-DC) enzyme family. Oxaloacetate decarboxylase converts the chemical energy of the decarboxylation reaction into an electrochemical gradient of Na+ ions across the membrane[1][2].
