    basic FUNCTION
  • nuclear-encoded mitochondrial enzyme, catalyzing the conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate
  • biotin-containing enzyme that catalyses the HCO(3)(-)- and MgATP-dependent carboxylation of pyruvate to form oxaloacetate
  • crucial for intermediary metabolism, controlling fuel partitioning toward gluconeogenesis or lipogenesis and in insulin secretion
  • mitochondrial enzyme that serves to supply the citric acid cycle with oxaloacetate by carboxylation of pyruvate (PMID
  • nuclear encoded protein which is actively transported into the mitochondria, and found in isolated mitochondria from human myotubes (PMID
