Phosphoenolpyruvate (2-phosphoenolpyruvate, PEP) is the

phosphotransferase system.[1][2]

In glycolysis

PEP is formed by the action of the

2-phosphoglyceric acid. Metabolism of PEP to pyruvic acid by pyruvate kinase (PK) generates adenosine triphosphate (ATP) via substrate-level phosphorylation. ATP is one of the major currencies of chemical energy within cells
.

In gluconeogenesis

PEP is formed from the

rate-limiting step in gluconeogenesis:[3]

GTP + oxaloacetate → GDP + phosphoenolpyruvate + CO2

In plants

PEP may be used for the synthesis of

3-deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate-7-phosphate (DAHP), in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme DAHP synthase
.

Biosynthesis of DAHP from phosphoenolpyruvate and erythrose-4-phosphate

In addition, in

carbon fixation. The chemical equation, as catalyzed by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase
(PEP carboxylase), is:

PEP + HCO3 → oxaloacetate
