Enzyme involved in gluconeogenesis are all except:

A
Pyruvate carboxylase
B
PEP carboxykinase
C
Pyruvate kinase
D
Glucose-6-phosphatase
High-Yield Explanation
Answer-c- Pyruvate kinaseMitochondrial pyruvate carboxylase catalyzes the carboxylation of Pyruvate to Oxaloacetate, It is an ATP-requiring reaction, Biotin is the coenzyme.Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase: Catalyzes the decarboxylation and phosphorylation of oxaloacetate to phosphoenolpyruvate(PEPCK) (Cytosol) using GTP as the phosphate donor.The conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to glucose is catalyzed by glucose 6-phosphatase
