Summary: Predicted to enable manganese ion binding activity and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP) activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including carboxylic acid metabolic process; cellular response to dexamethasone stimulus; and gluconeogenesis. Located in cytosol and striated muscle dense body. Is expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; preanal ganglion; somatic nervous system; tail ganglion; and in male. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to several human genes including PCK1 (phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1).

What's a GeneRIF?

Data suggest, with age, metabolism exhibits reciprocal changes in PEPCK-C (down-regulation of cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase) and PK (up-regulation of pyruvate kinase); metabolism shifts to glycolysis reducing mitochondrial bioenergetics.
