Human Endogenous Metabolite
Phosphoenolpyruvic acid potassium serves as a substrate for various kinases, including pyruvate kinase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. It acts as an inhibitor of hexokinase, phosphoglucose isomerase, phosphofructokinase, and aldolase. It is a bifunctional carbohydrate that exhibits antioxidant properties. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, PEP-K is used as a substrate in enzyme assays for pyruvate kinase and other glycolytic enzymes. It acts as an inhibitor of several glycolytic enzymes including hexokinase, phosphoglucose isomerase, phosphofructokinase, and aldolase. It exhibits antioxidant properties and is used in studies of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, phosphoenolpyruvic acid plays a critical role in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. It is an intermediate in the conversion of glucose to pyruvate and in the reverse pathway from pyruvate to glucose. One molecule of ATP is formed during its metabolism in glycolysis. It is a vital compound in energy metabolism.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for pyruvate kinase involve incubating the enzyme with PEP-K and ADP in buffer at pH 7.4-8.0. The production of pyruvate and ATP is measured spectrophotometrically by coupling to lactate dehydrogenase and monitoring NADH oxidation at 340 nm. Kinetic parameters are determined by varying PEP concentrations.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cell assays, cells are cultured and treated with PEP-K at concentrations ranging from 0.1-10 mM. Glycolytic flux is assessed by measuring lactate production and glucose consumption. ATP levels are measured by luciferase assays. The compound's effects on cellular metabolism and energy production are evaluated. Cell viability is assessed by MTT assay.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo animal studies, PEP-K is typically administered to rodents via intravenous injection or oral gavage in metabolic studies. Blood glucose, lactate, and ATP levels are measured. The compound's effects on glycolysis and gluconeogenesis are assessed by measuring metabolic intermediates. Pharmacokinetic studies quantify PEP levels in plasma and tissues by LC-MS/MS.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
