Carbohydrate Metabolism Flashcards
1
Q
Maltase
A
Glucose
2
Q
Isomaltase
A
Glucose
3
Q
Sucrase
A
Glucose + Fructose
4
Q
Lactase
A
Glucose + Galactose
5
Q
SGLT 1
A
Na+-glucose cotransporter
Glucose and galactose move from the intestinal lumen into the cell
6
Q
GLUT 1
A
most tissues
basal uptake
7
Q
GLUT 2
A
liver & pancreas
facilitated diffusion
Glucose and galactose are extruded from the cell into the blood
8
Q
GLUT 4
A
skeletal muscle & adipose tissue
INSULIN STIMULATED
9
Q
GLUT 5
A
fructose-specific transporter
10
Q
HEXOKINASE VS. GLUCOKINASE
A
HEXOKINASE
- all tissues
- low Km
- allosteric enzyme
- constitutive enzyme
- relative specificity
GLUCOKINASE
- ONLY liver
- high Km
- non-allosteric enzyme
- insulin dependent
- absolute specificity
