Pyruvate phosphate dikinase (EC 2.7.9.1) is an enzyme in the family of transferases that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + pyruvate + phosphate AMP + phosphoenolpyruvate + diphosphateThis enzyme has been studied primarily in plants but it has been studied in some bacteria as well. It is a key enzyme in gluconeogenesis and photosynthesis that is responsible for reversing the reaction performed by pyruvate kinase in Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas glycolysis.
