FUNCTION: Forms oxaloacetate, a four-carbon dicarboxylic acid source for the tricarboxylic acid cycle (By similarity).

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Phosphate + oxaloacetate = H(2)O + phosphoenolpyruvate + CO(2).

PATHWAY: Carbohydrate metabolism; tricarboxylic acid cycle.

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the PEPCase type 2 family.
