Phosphoenolpyruvic acid plays a role in both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. During glycolysis, it is formed by the action of enolase on 2-phosphoglycerate and is metabolized to pyruvate by pyruvate kinase.

Phosphoenolpyruvic acid monopotassium salt is used in glycolysis and gluconeogeneis. It is used for regeneration of ATP from ADP in enzyme-catalyzed syntheses. It is metabolized by an enzyme namely pyruvate kinase to yield pyruvate. It acts as protection against cell injury induced by oxidative stress and against dysfunction in carbohydrate metabolism.
Phospho(enol)pyruvic acid (PEP) acts as an inhibitor of hexokinase, phosphoglucose isomerase, phosphofructokinase and aldolase. It is a bifunctional carbohydrate, which exhibits antioxidant property. PEP may be a potential organ preservation agent in clinical transplantation.
Phosphoenolpyruvic acid plays a role in both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. During glycolysis, it is formed by the action of enolase on 2-phosphoglycerate and is metabolized to pyruvate by pyruvate kinase. One molecule of ATP is formed during its metabolism in this pathway. During gluconeogenesis, it is formed from phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase-catalyzed oxaloacetate decarboxylation and GTP hydrolysis. In plants, it is metabolized to form aromatic amino acids and also serves as a substrate for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase-catalyzed carbon fixation.
