Summary:
PCK1 is a cytosolic enzyme that functions as a critical, rate-limiting checkpoint in the regulation of gluconeogenesis. In the presence of GTP, this protein catalyzes the conversion of oxaloacetate into phosphoenolpyruvate, accompanied by the release of carbon dioxide and GDP. Cellular levels and activity of this enzyme are dynamically modulated by metabolic regulators such as insulin, glucocorticoids, glucagon, cAMP, and dietary factors. Deficiencies in this functional protein lead to cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase deficiency, distinguishing it from its mitochondrial isozyme counterpart.
