Assays of related enzymes have shown that UDPG pyrophosphorylase is not the only enzyme induced by CO2. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49) and glucose-phosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.7) were more strongly stimulated than UDPG pyrophosphorylase. Hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1), phosphoglucomutase (EC 2.7.5.1) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.43) were more weakly stimulated than UDPG pyrophosphorylase. The stimulation of UDPG pyrophosphorylase does not occur as a result of sequential induction.", }
