PCK — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CSA_3G893410 (PCK) in cucumber (Cucumis sativus) on chromosome 3 encodes a phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (ATP) enzyme (EC 4.1.1.49), a member of the PEPCK_ATP family. This gene is associated with gluconeogenesis, C4 photosynthesis, the glyoxylate cycle, the MVA pathway, malate metabolism, the TCA cycle, amino acid anabolism, pH reduction, NO storage, chlorophyll fluorescence, fruit development, and regulation of gene expression. It is linked to traits including stem senescence, sugar content, chlorophyll content, and photochemical quenching, as well as phenotypes such as senescence and post-germinative growth. The encoded protein localises to the cytosol and cytoplasm.
