Descriptor English: Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase
Descriptor Spanish: Fosfoenolpiruvato Carboxilasa
Descriptor fosfoenolpiruvato carboxilasa
Scope note: Enzima con gran afinidad para el anhídrido carbónico. Cataliza irreversiblemente la formación de oxalacetato a partir de fosfoenolpiruvato y anhídrido carbónico. Esta fijación de anhídrido carbónico por diversas bacterias y algunas plantas es el primer paso de la biosíntesis de la glucosa. EC 4.1.1.31.
Descriptor Portuguese: Fosfoenolpiruvato Carboxilase
Descriptor French: Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase
Entry term(s): Carboxylase, Phosphoenolpyruvate
Tree number(s): D08.811.520.224.125.650
RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D010730
Scope note: An enzyme with high affinity for carbon dioxide. It catalyzes irreversibly the formation of oxaloacetate from phosphoenolpyruvate and carbon dioxide. This fixation of carbon dioxide in several bacteria and some plants is the first step in the biosynthesis of glucose. EC 4.1.1.31.
Annotation: do not confuse with PHOSPHOENOLPYRUVATE CARBOXYKINASE (ATP) or PHOSPHOENOLPYRUVATE CARBOXYKINASE (GTP)
