Pyruvate carboxylase (PC), a mitochondrial enzyme, is a nuclear-encoded protein. Expression of biologically active PC is seen in skeletal muscle. PC is a homotetramer in vertebrates, with each subunit having biotin carboxylase (BC), carboxyltransferase (CT), and biotin-carboxyl carrier protein (BCCP) domains and a covalently linked biotin cofactor. The PC gene is located on human chromosome 11q13.2.
Immunogen
Peptide with sequence C-KFKEVKKAYVEANQ from the internal region of the protein sequence according to NP_000911.2; NP_001035806.1; NP_071504.2.
Application
Anti-Pyruvate Carboxylase antibody produced in goat has been used in immunoblotting.[1][2]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) enzyme converts pyruvate to oxaloacetate. It plays an important role in mitochondrial metabolism in all cells and its absence is lethal. Expression of PC is highly essential for the development of pulmonary tumors. PC is involved in the pulmonary tropism of metastatic breast cancer. It is associated with the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer. Lower expression of PC can block cell proliferation, progression of the cell cycle, migration, and invasion of cells.

Inspite of exerting independent cellular functions, the endoplasmic-reticulum (ER) and the mitochondria also physically connect at specific sites termed mitochondria-associated ER membranes (MAMs) and these sites consist of several tethering proteins that play varied roles in diverse cellular processes. However

Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyses the carboxylation of pyruvate to oxaloacetate thereby allowing supplementation of citric acid cycle intermediates. The presence of PC in skeletal muscle is controversial. We report here, that PC protein is easily
The aim of this study was to explore prognosis-related biomarkers and underlying mechanisms during ovarian carcinoma progression and development. mRNA expression profiles and GSE49997 dataset were downloaded. Survival analyses were performed for genes with high expression levels. Expression level of

Endogenous biotin or biotinylated protein binding activity is a major drawback to biotin-avidin/streptavidin detection system. The avidin/streptavidin conjugate used to detect the complex of the biotinylated secondary antibody and the primary antibody binds to endogenous biotin or biotinylated proteins leading
