Are transferases involved in pyruvate conversion?
Posted September 8, 2021

Answer

Yes, transferases are involved in pyruvate conversion. Pyruvate conversion is catalyzed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme, which is part of the multienzyme Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC). This is a complex composed of three enzymes that catalyze the irreversible decarboxylation of pyruvate into acetyl-CoA.
