From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from PEPCase)
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (or PEPCase) is an enzyme in the family of carboxy-lyases. It acts upon phosphoenolpyruvate to produce oxaloacetate.
In plants, this can eventually lead to the production of glucose.
It is classified under EC number 4.1.1.31.
