{"symbol":"PCK2","synonyms":["PEPCK","PEPCK-M","PEPCK2"],"name":"phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 2 (mitochondrial)","description":"This gene encodes a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of oxaloacetate to phosphoenolpyruvate in the presence of guanosine triphosphate (GTP). A cytosolic form of this protein is encoded by a different gene and is the key enzyme of gluconeogenesis in the liver. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.
