| Rubisco must be activated to catalyse the carboxylation and oxygenation reactions. |
| Acetyl-CoA, formed as a result of fatty acids oxidation, enters the tricarboxylic acid cycle and is dependent on sufficient oxaloacetate formed by carboxylation of pyruvate. |
| Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase catalyses the carboxylation of PEP to form oxaloacetate. |
| The best-studied CAM models produce predominantly starch in the chloroplast as the transitory carbon reserve to support nocturnal carboxylation and malate synthesis. |
| Pyruvate carboxylation prevents the decline in contractile function of rat hearts oxidizing acetoacetate. |
| However, to properly perform its inhibitory function, MGP must be activated by vitamin K2 in a carboxylation reaction. |
