| Application: | Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) is an enzyme useful for enzymatic determination of carbon dioxide when coupled with malate dehydrogenase in clinical analysis. PEPC is also used to study carbon assimilation, post-translational regulation and allosteric regulation in various plants . |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) catalyzes the addition of bicarbonate to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to form the four-carbon compound oxaloacetate and inorganic phosphate . In CAM and C4 plants, PEPC catalyzes the photosynthetic assimilation of CO2 into an organic acid. PEPC is activated by glucose-6-phosphate and is inhibited by malate and aspartate. PEPC comprises about 0.5-2% of the soluble protein in alfalfa and soybean nodules . |
| Other Notes: | One unit causes the oxidation of one micromole of NADH per minute at pH 8.0 at 30°C. |
| Packaging: | 1000 units in poly bottle |
| Physical form: | White amorphous lyophilized powder containing BSA and sugar alchohols as stabilizers. |
