Uses
Pyruvate Decarboxylase from baker′s yeast (
S. cerevisiae) has been used to evaluate the power of systematic identification of meaningful metabolic enzyme regulation (SIMMER) for finding unknown yeast regulatory interactions.
General Description
Pyruvate decarboxylase(PDC) usually appear in plant seeds at the time of germination, especially when theplant embryois totally covered by an oxygen-impermeable testa.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Pyruvate decarboxylase(PDC) actively participates in the anaerobic metabolismof several bacteria, yeast andplant seeds.
