AccessionGenProp1034
Namedecarboxylation/antiport proton-motive cycle: oxalate-formate
TypeSYSTEM
DescriptionThis Genome Property represents a proton-motive cycle. The cycle of decarboxylating oxalate, a dicarboxylic acid, to formate plus CO2, then exchanging the cytosolic formate for an extracellular oxalate, has the net effect of consuming one proton. This property has been studied extensively in Oxalobacter formigenes, which appears in the human microbiome and affects oxalate homeostasis.
