Q

what is the difference between GLUT1 and GLUT2

A

GLUT1 has a high affinity for glucose and is present in all cells, glut 2 is mostly in liver and pancreas and has a low affinity for glucose

Q

what causes fanconi bickel syndrome

A

deficiency in GLUT2, failure to thrive, rickets, cannot transport glucose, galactose, and fructose, vitamin d defiency, rickets, treated with uncooked corn starch which prevents spikes in blood glucose,

Q

summarize glycolysis in 3 steps

A

investment phase: input of 2 atp
splitting phase: isomerase and splitting into G3P and DHAP, later into 2 G3P
payoff phase:

Q

what is the difference between hexokinase and glucokinase

A

hexokinase has a high affinity in glucose and is present in most cells, glucokinase has a low affinity for glucose and is only present in the liver and pancrease so it is most active when blood glucose is high, glucokinase has a higher vmax

Q

which 3 steps are regulated in glycolysis

A
  1. conversion of glucose to g6p
  2. conversion of fructose6phosphate to fructose16bisphosphate by phosphofructokinse1(pfk1) with 1 atp
  3. conversion of phophoenolpyruvate(PEP) to pyruvate through pyruvate kinase

Q

what is the rate limiting step of glycolysis, and how is it regulated

A

conversion of Fructose6phosphate to fructose16bisphosphate by PFK1 with 1 ATP
AMP and fructose 2 6 bisphosphate activate it, ATP and citrate inhibit it

Q

how does insulin regulate pfk1

A

insulin activates protein phosphotases which dephosphorylate pfk2/fbpase2, which activating the kinase, making f26bp from f6p which activates pfk1

Q

how does glucagon regulate pfk1

A

glucagon increases cAMP, which activate PKA, which phosphorylates pfk2/fbpase2 which activates the phosphatase, decreasing f26bp, inhibiting pfk1

Q

what 2 steps use up atp in glycolysis

A

conversion of glucose to g6p by hexokinase or glucokinase to g6p and conversion of f6p to f16bp by pfk 1

17
Q

what is the fate of g3p in glycolysis

A

conversion to 13bisphosphoglycerate by adding phosphate and turning nad to nadh, conversion to 3 phosphoglycerate by phosphoglycerate kinase producing 2 atp… to phosphoenolpyruvate

18
Q

what reaction is pyruvate kinase responsible for

A

conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate with the production of 2 atp with pyruvate kinase

19
Q

how is pyruvate kinase regulated

A

activated by insulin, f16bp, inhibited by glucagon, alanine, and atp

20
Q

what is the fate of pyruvate during fed conditions

A

conversion to acetyl coa in the mitochondria for tca cycle or fatty acid synthsis, or to alanine for protein synthesis

21
Q

what is the fate of pyruvate during fasting conditions

A

converted to oxoaloacetate for gluconeogenesis

22
Q

what is the fate of pyruvate in anaerobic conditions

A

the cori cycle to be sent to the liver for gluconeogenesis
