Q

PHase 1, cytosolic entry of acetyl coA steps

A

1 - Acetyl CoA with oxaloacetate to form citrate with citrate synthase
2 - transport of citrate from matrix to cytosol via citrate transporter
3 - citrate converted back to acetyl coa and OAA by citrate lyase (uses atp)
4 - OAA reduce dto malate by malate dehydrogenase.
5 - malate transported into mito via malate - alpha keto glutarate transpoter and then goes back to OAA by malate dehydrogenase
6- cytosolic malate > pyruvate by malic enzyme. pyruvate transported to matrix via pyruvtea transporter and cacarboxylated by pyruvate carboxylase to OAA
