ANTI-PYRUVATE CARBOXYLASE

Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

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.

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.
