Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (diphosphate) () is an enzyme with systematic name diphosphate:oxaloacetate carboxy-lyase (transphosphorylating; phosphoenolpyruvate-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

: diphosphate + oxaloacetate \rightleftharpoons phosphate + phosphoenolpyruvate + CO2

This enzyme also catalyses the reaction: :phosphoenolpyruvate + GTP + CO2 \rightleftharpoons pyruvate + GDP.

It is transcriptionally upregulated in the liver by glucagon.
