Gene Information

human ... PC(5091)

General description

Pyruvate carboxylase (PC), a mitochondrial enzyme, is a nuclear-encoded protein. Expression of biologically active PC is seen in skeletal muscle. PC is a homotetramer in vertebrates, with each subunit having biotin carboxylase (BC), carboxyltransferase (CT), and biotin-carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) domains and a covalently linked biotin cofactor. The PC gene is located on human chromosome 11q13.2.

Immunogen

Peptide with sequence C-KFKEVKKAYVEANQ from the internal region of the protein sequence according to NP_000911.2; NP_001035806.1; NP_071504.2.

Application

Anti-Pyruvate Carboxylase antibody produced in goat has been used in immunoblotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) enzyme converts pyruvate to oxaloacetate. It plays an important role in mitochondrial metabolism in all cells and its absence is lethal. Expression of PC is highly essential for the development of pulmonary tumors. PC is involved in the pulmonary tropism of metastatic breast cancer. It is associated with the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer. Lower expression of PC can block cell proliferation, progression of the cell cycle, migration, and invasion of cells.

The aim of this study was to explore prognosis-related biomarkers and underlying mechanisms during ovarian carcinoma progression and development. mRNA expression profiles and GSE49997 dataset were downloaded. Survival analyses were performed for genes with high expression levels. Expression level of

During the cancerous transformation of normal hepatocytes into hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the enzyme catalyzing the first rate-limiting step of glycolysis, namely the glucokinase (GCK), is replaced by the higher affinity isoenzyme, hexokinase 2 (HK2). Here, we show that in HCC

Glutamine Metabolism is Dysregulated in Many Cancer Cells

This is an article about how proliferatively active cells require both a source of carbon and of nitrogen for the synthesis of macromolecules. Although a large proportion of tumor cells utilize aerobic glycolysis and shunt metabolites away from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, many tumor cells exhibit increased mitochondrial activity.
