carbohydrates Flashcards
what is the difference between GLUT1 and GLUT2
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
where is glut3 mostly found
neurons, high affinity
what distinguishes glut4
heart, adipose, skeletal tissue. dependent on insulin. present in vesicles that fuse with the cell membrane when given a signal by a insulin receptor.
what causes fanconi bickel syndrome
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,
summarize glycolysis in 3 steps
investment phase: input of 2 atp
splitting phase: isomerase and splitting into G3P and DHAP, later into 2 G3P
payoff phase:
what is the difference between hexokinase and glucokinase
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
what reaction do hexokinase and glucokinase catalyze
glucose to g6p by using ATP
what inhibits hexokinase
G6P, the product of the reaction
what inhibits glucokinase
glucagon, which inhibits glycolysis
fructose6phosphate,
which 3 steps are regulated in glycolysis
- conversion of glucose to g6p
- conversion of fructose6phosphate to fructose16bisphosphate by phosphofructokinse1(pfk1) with 1 atp
- conversion of phophoenolpyruvate(PEP) to pyruvate through pyruvate kinase
what is the rate limiting step of glycolysis, and how is it regulated
conversion of Fructose6phosphate to fructose16bisphosphate by PFK1 with 1 ATP
AMP and fructose 2 6 bisphosphate activate it, ATP and citrate inhibit it
how does f26bp regulate pfk1
pfk2/fbpase-2 converts f6p to f26bp which stimulates pfk1
how does insulin regulate pfk1
insulin activates protein phosphotases which dephosphorylate pfk2/fbpase2, which activating the kinase, making f26bp from f6p which activates pfk1
how does glucagon regulate pfk1
glucagon increases cAMP, which activate PKA, which phosphorylates pfk2/fbpase2 which activates the phosphatase, decreasing f26bp, inhibiting pfk1
what is the final product of the “investment” phase of glycolysis
fructose 6 phosphate f6p from f6p by pfk1
