Abstract excerpt
Pyruvate carboxylase (PC), a key enzyme for gluconeogenesis and anaplerotic pathways, consists of four domains, namely, biotin carboxylase (BC), carboxyltransferase (CT), pyruvate carboxylase tetramerization (PT), and biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP). PC deficiency is a rare metabolic disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive way. The most severe form (form B) is characterized by neonatal lethal lactic...
