General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism formation of phosphoenolpyruvate is an initial step in gluconeogenesis Escherichia coli
physiological function the enzyme is essential for growth of Escherichia coli on 3-carbon sources such as pyruvate. The production of phosphoenolpyruvate synthase has also been linked to bacterial virulence and antibiotic resistance Escherichia coli
