| pyruvate carboxylase deficiency | An autosomal recessive pyruvate metabolism disorder resulting from absent or deficient expression of pyruvate carboxylase activity. Decreased production of oxaloacetate leads to decreased gluconeogenesis, thereby causing fasting hypoglycaemia, lactic acid acidosis, and decreased synthesis of amino acid neurotransmitters. Clinical presentations include acidosis, ataxia, mental retardation; sometimes co-occurs with leigh disease. (12 Dec 1998) |

| pyruvic-malic carboxylase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the conversion of (s)-malate and NAD+ to oxaloacetate and NADH. Chemical name: (S)-Malate:NAD+ oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.1.1.37 (12 Dec 1998) |
| oxalosuccinic carboxylase | <enzyme> An enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyses the conversion of isocitrate and NAD+ to yield 2-ketoglutarate, carbon dioxide, and NADH. It occurs in cell mitochondria. The enzyme requires magnesium, mn2+; it is activated by ADP, citrate, and calcium, and inhibited by NADH, NADPH, and ATP. The reaction is the key rate-limiting step of the citric acid (tricarboxylic) cycle. (the NADP+ enzyme is EC 1.1.1.42.) Chemical name: Isocitrate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (decarboxylating) Registry number: EC 1.1.1.41 (12 Dec 1998) |
