PCK2( Human )
phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 2, mitochondrial
Alias
PEPCK|PEPCK-M|PEPCK2
This gene encodes a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of oxaloacetate to phosphoenolpyruvate in the presence of guanosine triphosphate (GTP). A cytosolic form of this protein is encoded by a different gene and is the key enzyme of gluconeogenesis in the liver. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.
