Glycolysis Flashcards
What are the 3 stages of energy generation from food?
1) large cules broken down in digestion
2) small cules processed into key cules of metabolism, esp. acetyl coA
3) ATP produced from complete oxidation of acetyl coA
how is lactase converted to gluc and gal?
lactase (beta-galactosidase)
how is sucrose converted to gluc and fruc?
invertase
maltose is converted to ____ when glucose is low
glucose (done by maltase)
Where is GLUT2 found?
in the liver and pancreatic beta cells
what does GLUT2 do?
pancreas: regulation of insulin
liver: remove excess gluc from blood
- basically, gluc transport
where is GLUT4 found?
in muscle and fat cells
what does GLUT4 depend on to be activated?
insulin
Amounts of ____ increase in muscle plasma membrane with endurance training
GLUT4
pyruvate becomes lactate in which cells?
contracting muscle, erythrocytes
pyruvate becomes ethanol and CO2 in:
yeast
This type of enzyme transfers phosphoryl groups
kinase
diffs between muscle and liver hexokinase?
muscle: hexokinase 1, non-specific, 0.1mM Km, inhibited by Gluc 6P
liver: hexokinase 4, specific, 5-10 mM, not inhibited by Gluc 6P
which enzyme causes the isomerization of G6P to F6P?
phosphoglucose isomerase
what enzyme causes interconversion between aldo and keto sugars?
isomerase
what happens in G6P–>F6P isomerization?
the carbonyl oxygen moves from C1 to C2, turning aldose to ketose sugar
What enzyme catalyzes phosphorylation of F6P to F1,6-BP?
phosphofructokinase (PFK1)
-SUPER IMPORTANT
inhibition of reaction velocity due to negative feedback of high ATP can be overcome by high [ ] of ___
F6P
Which enzyme turns F1,6-BP into DHAP and GAP?
Aldolase, which cleaves the C-C bond
how does DHAP become GAP?
triose phosphate isomerase makes ketose sugar into aldose sugar
which enzyme catalyzes GAP–>1,3-BPG?
glyceraldehyde3P dehydrogenase
Dehydrogenases catalyze ___ reactions
redox
