7.2.4.2 |
| Accepted name: |
oxaloacetate decarboxylase (Na+ extruding) |
| Reaction: |
oxaloacetate + 2 Na+[side 1] = pyruvate + CO2 + 2 Na+[side 2] |
| Other name(s): |
oxaloacetate β-decarboxylase (ambiguous); oxalacetic acid decarboxylase (ambiguous); oxalate β-decarboxylase (ambiguous); oxaloacetate carboxy-lyase (ambiguous) |
| Systematic name: |
oxaloacetate carboxy-lyase (pyruvate-forming; Na+-extruding) |
| Comments: |
The enzyme from the bacterium Klebsiella aerogenes is a biotinyl protein and also decarboxylates glutaconyl-CoA and methylmalonyl-CoA. The process is accompanied by the extrusion of two sodium ions from cells. Some animal enzymes require Mn2+. Differs from EC 4.1.1.112 (oxaloacetate decarboxylase) for which there is no evidence for involvement in Na+ transport. |
