Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, GTP-utilising, conserved site
InterPro entry
Short name | PEP_carboxykin_GTP_CS |
Description
This entry represents a conserved site found in GTP-utilising phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase enzymes. An essential cysteine residue has been proposed
[1] to be implicated in the catalytic mechanism; this residue is located in the central part of PEPCK and is in the centre of a perfectly conserved region.
