Phosphoenolpyruvic Acid Monopotassium Salt, MP Biomedicals™

Description

Functions as an important metabolic intermediate in animals, plants, and microorganisms. Phosphoenolpyruvic Acid Monopotassium Salt, MP Biomedicals is a phosphoric ester of the enol form of pyruvic acid. PEP is a high-energy compound involved in glycolysi

Phospho(enol)pyruvic acid (PEP) is involved in glycolysis and gluconeogeneis. In glycolysis, PEP is metabolized by Pyruvate Kinase to yield pyruvate. In plants, PEP is involved in the formation of aromatic amino acids as well as in the carbon fixation pathway.

PEP is used for regeneration of ATP from ADP in enzyme-catalyzed syntheses. PEP protects against the cell injury induced by oxidative stress and against the dysfunction in carbohydrate metabolism.
