About Cytosolic Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Deficiency

Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Deficiency, Cytosolic, is also known as pepck deficiency, cytosolic. An important gene associated with Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Deficiency, Cytosolic is PCK1 (Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase 1). Affiliated tissues include liver, and related phenotypes are hypoglycemia and hepatic failure

Major Symptoms of Cytosolic Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Deficiency

The main symptoms of Cytosolic Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PPC) deficiency include:

1. Fatigue and weakness: PPC is a key enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, responsible for converting phosphoglutarate into citric acid, and is the main place for energy production. A lack of PPC can lead to obstruction of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, causing fatigue and weakness.

2. Muscle soreness and pain: PPC deficiency will cause muscle cells to be unable to obtain sufficient energy, causing muscle soreness and pain. This pain usually occurs after exercise or weight-bearing and may be relieved by rest.

3. Heart disease: PPC deficiency can lead to mitochondrial damage, affect heart health, and increase the risk of heart disease.

4. Nervous system problems: PPC deficiency can affect the normal function of the nervous system, leading to neurological problems such as headaches, insomnia, lack of concentration, etc.

5. Digestive system problems: PPC deficiency can affect the normal function of the digestive system, leading to digestive system problems such as diarrhea, constipation, nausea, and vomiting. Symptoms of PPC deficiency usually appear at a young age and may become more severe as you age. Therefore, timely diagnosis and treatment are very important.
