| Function | Formation of phosphoenolpyruvate, which is the primary acceptor of CO(2) in C4 and some Crassulacean acid metabolism plants. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1668653, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21414960}. |
| Subcellular Location | Plastid, chloroplast {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1668653, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22833285}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1668653}. Note=Isoform C4PPDKZM1 is targeted to the chloroplast while isoform CYPPDKZM1 is found in the cytoplasm. Can be found associated with the thylakoid membrane. |
| Tissue Specificity | Isoform C4PPDKZM1 mainly localized in mesophyll cells and only a low level is found in bundle sheath cells. Isoform CYPPDKZM1 expressed in roots, stems and etiolated leaves. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1668653, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2158100, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24710069}. |
