| Application: | Oxaloacetate Decarboxylase from Pseudomonas sp. has been used in the digestion of the low molecular weight (LMW) human milk fraction (5kF fraction) and as a positive control for deciphering C. thermocellum oxaloacetate decarboxylase activity. |
| Application: | Oxaloacetate decarboxylase has been used in a study to assess turnover and accessibility of a reentrant loop of the Na(+)-glutamate transporter GltS. It has also been used in a study to investigate fermentation and metabolic characteristics of Gluconacetobacter oboediens for different carbon sources. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Oxaloacetate Decarboxylase catalyzes the decarboxylation of oxaloacetate and requires manganese and magnesium for its activity. It is associated with a wide vareity of Gram-negative bacteria. |
| General description: | Oxaloacetate decarboxylase or OAD functions as a Na pump in anaerobic bacteria. It is a membrane protein consisting of three subunits, α, β and γ with the α subunit containing the carboxylase activity. |
| Other Notes: | One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of oxalacetate to pyruvate and CO2 per min at pH 8.0 at 25 °C. |
