GLUCONEOGENESIS Flashcards
3 precursors or non carbohydrate sources so glucose could be produced
Lactate
Amino acids
Glycerol
Gluconeogenesis occurs in the
Liver
Kidneys
Skeletal and heart muscle
Gluconeogenesis utilizes 2 compartments of the cell
Mitochondrion
Cytosol
Hormones responsive to decrease blood glucose
Glucagon and epinephrine
Hormone that:
stimulates glycolysis
inhibits gluconeogenesis
Insulin
Hormone that:
Stimulates: gluconeogenesis
Inhibits: glycolysis
Glucagon
Step 1 in gluconeogenesis
Enzyme:
Conversion of pyruvate to Phosphoenolpyruvate
Enzyme: pyruvate carboxylase
Step1
Bicarbonate + pyruvate =
Enzyme:
Vitamin derived Cofactor:
Oxaloacetate
E: pyruvate carboxylase
Co: biotin
Step 1
Oxaloacetate + GTP =
Enzyme:
Phosphoenolpyruvate
PEP carboxykinase
Type of rxn in step 1 of gluconeogenesis
Anaplerotic, anabolic and atp dependent rxn
End product of
Aerobic glycolysis:
Anaerobic glycolysis:
Aero: pyruvate
Anaero: lactate
Aerobic glycolysis
Pyruvate ➡️ oxaloacetate ➡️ ____ ➡️ oxaloacetate ➡️ PEP
Malate (goes out and reconverted to oxaloacetate)
Anaerobic glycolysis
Lactate ➡️ (cytosol) _____ ➡️ (enters mitochondrion) ➡️ oxaloacetate (no need to go out) ➡️ PEP
Pyruvate
Step 2 in gluconeogenesis:
Enzymes:
Conversion of PEP ➡️ F 1,6 BP ➡️ F 6 P
Fructose 1,6 bisphosphatase & phosphoglucose isomerase
Reverse reaction in glycolysis
Reversible
Isomerization
Step II of gluconeogenesis
Con of PEP ➡️ F16BP➡️F6P
