UniProtKB accession:  P21642

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the conversion of oxaloacetate (OAA) to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), the rate-limiting step in the metabolic pathway that produces glucose from lactate and other precursors derived from the citric acid cycle. Facilitates the recycling of lactate carbon in the liver (By similarity). Can play an active role in glyceroneogenesis and gluconeogenesis (By similarity).
