pck-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable manganese ion binding activity and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP) activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including carbohydrate biosynthetic process; cellular response to oxygen-containing compound; and propionate catabolic process. Located in cytosol and striated muscle dense body. 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. Is an ortholog of human PCK1 (phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1).
