MeSH definition : An enzyme with high affinity for carbon dioxide. It catalyzes irreversibly the formation
of oxaloacetate from phosphoenolpyruvate and carbon dioxide. This fixation of carbon
dioxide in several bacteria and some plants is the first step in the biosynthesis
of glucose. EC 4.1.1.31.;
MeSH synonym : carboxylase, phosphoenolpyruvate;
MeSH CAS label : orthophosphate:oxaloacetate carboxy-lyase (phosphorylating);
MeSH Related Number : 9067-77-0 (CAS RN);
Registry Number MeSH : EC 4.1.1.31;
MeSH annotation : do not confuse with PHOSPHOENOLPYRUVATE CARBOXYKINASE (ATP) or PHOSPHOENOLPYRUVATE
CARBOXYKINASE (GTP);
