During Gluconeogenesis, the Enzyme Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase (PEPCK) Catalyzes Production of Phosphoenolpyruvate
Multiple Choice
During gluconeogenesis, the enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) catalyzes production of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) by decarboxylating oxaloacetate and transferring a phosphate group from GTP. What is the balanced equation for this reaction?
A) Oxaloacetate + GTP → GDP + CO2 + PEP
B) Oxaloacetate + GTP + PEPCK → GDP + 2 CO2 + PEP
C) Oxaloacetate + GTP → GDP + 2 Pi + PEP
D) Oxaloacetate + GTP + PEPCK → GDP + Pi + PEP
