Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) is an enzyme of the ligase class that catalyzes the reversible carboxylation of pyruvate to form oxaloacetate (OAA).It is an important anaplerotic reaction that provides oxaloacetate precursor for the citric acid cycle. The enzyme is a mitochondrial protein containing a biotin prosthetic group, requiring magnesium or manganese and acetyl CoA, and occurs in liver but not in muscle.Pyruvate carboxylasehas been found in a wide variety of prokaryotes and eukaryotes including fungi, bacteria, plants, and animals. In mammals, PC plays a crucial role in gluconeogenesis and lipogenesis, in the biosynthesis of neurotransmitters, and in glucose-induced insulin secretion by pancreatic islets.

Human Pyruvate carboxylase, mitochondrial (PC) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate PC in samples. An antibody specific for PC has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyPC present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for PC is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of PC bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
