Final Exam Flashcards
What types of tissue is GLUT1 present in?
most
What types of tissue is GLUT3 present in?
neuronal
What types of tissue is GLUT2 present in?
hepatocytes
pancreatic B cells
What types of tissue is GLUT4 present in?
cardio
adipo
skeletal
What GLUT is [glucose] sensitive?
GLUT2
What GLUT is insulin dependent?
GLUT4
What happens to GLUT4 when insulin is secreated?
fuses with cell membrane to access insulin in blood
What happens to GLUT4 when insulin is not secreated?
sequesters inside the cell
What is the commitment step of using glucose in metabolism?
Hexokinase
Is Hexokinase I-III or Hexokinase IV always at max rate making it [glucose] insensitive?
Hexokinase I-III
What inhibited Hexokinase I-III?
G6Pase
Is Hexokinase I-III or Hexokinase IV [glucose] sensitive?
Hexokinase IV
Is Hexokinase IV inhibited by G6Pase like HK I-III?
No
What cells is Hexokinase IV present in?
hepatocytes
pancreatic B cells
Is hexokinase IV inhibited or activated by insulin?
activated
What cell type is G6Pase mainly expressed in?
hepatocytes
What is positive cooperativity?
binding of a substrate at one active site enhances binding at another active site
What are the 2 conformations of the symmetry model?
T - tight
R - relaxed
In the symmetry model, how does each conformation interact with its substrate?
Tight - binds poorly
Relaxed - binds well
T/F? enyzmes can have T and R conformations
false (only one at a time)
In the symmetry model, [T]/[R] = large or small number
large positive
In the symmetry model, disassociation constant for T or R is smaller (better binding)?
R b/c it binds better with substrate
Do allosteric inhibitors or activators increase the cooperatively affect and why?
inhibitors; more substrate is required to overcome the bias towards the T state = increased cooperatively affect (trying to get up hill)
Do allosteric activators prefer the R or T state?
R
