Abstract excerpt
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) is a key regulatory enzyme of gluconeogenesis. Genetic variations in this gene may therefore affect a wide variety of traits, including tumor growth that is heavily dependent on glucose metabolism. We have previously shown the gene coding for the mitochondrial form of PEPCK (PEPCK-M) segregates for markers that are collected with resistance to Marek's disease. In this...
