Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes a member of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP) family. The protein is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of oxaloacetate to phosphoenolpyruvate in the presence of GTP. A cytosolic form encoded by a different gene has also been characterized and is the key enzyme of gluconeogenesis in the liver. The encoded protein may serve a similar function, although it is constitutively expressed and not modulated by hormones such as glucagon and insulin that regulate the cytosolic form. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Staining summary

Strong granular cytoplasmic positivity was observed in gastrointestinal tract, alveolar macrophages, cells of renal tubules and in a subset of alveolar cells. Hepatocytes, gall bladder and exocrine pancreas showed moderate cytoplasmic staining. The remaining normal tissues were mainly negative.
