Glycolysis Enzymes and inhibitors/stimulators Flashcards
Hexokinase
- Catalyzes glucose to glucose-6-phosphate
- Stimulated by insulin
- Inhibited by Glucose-6-phosphate
Phosphofructokinase 1
- Catalyzes fructose-6-phosphate to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate
- Stimulated by hormones (fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, ADP, AMP)
- Inhibited by ATP, citrate
Pyruvate Kinase
- Catalyzes PEP to pyruvate (glycolysis)
- Stimulated by fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, insulin
- Inhibited by ATP
Pyruvate Carboxylase
- Pyruvate to OAA (done if acetyl CoA is high, and there i no need for more —convert to OAA so there is more to react with)
- stimulated by Acetyl CoA
- inhibited by insulin
PEP carboxykinase
-OXA to phophoenolpyruvate (gluconeogenesis)
- inhibited by insulin, AMP
- stimulated by Glucagon
Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase
-Fructose1.6-bisphosphate to Fructose 6-phosphate (gluconeogenesis)
- Inhibited by Fructose 2,6, bisphosphate, AMP
- Stimulated be citrate
Glucose 6-phosphatase
G6P to glucose
Inhibited by insulin
Stimulated by Glucagon, epi
Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase
G6P to phosphogluconolactone
-Inhibited by NADPH
Glucokinase
- Glucose to G6P (in glycogen breakdown) (hexokinase isozyme in the liver)
- NOT inhibited by G6P
- Stimulated by insulin
Phosphogulcomutase
G6P to G1P (part of glycogen breakdown)
UDP-glucosepyrophosphorylase
Glucose 1-P UTP to UDP (part of the glycogen breakdown pathway
Glycogen Synthase
Adds glucose to glycogen
- Inhibited by glucagon, epi
- Stimulated by insulin
Glycogen phosphorylase
Releases G1P units from glycogen
- Inhibited by insulin
- Stimulated by glucagon, epi
Debranching enzyme (just what is it)
Part of the glycogen breakdown
Branching enzyme (just what is it)
Part of the glycogen synthesis reactions
What is the equivalent enzymes for Hexokinase in glyconeogeneis?
Glucose-6-phosphatase
What is the equivalent enzymes for phosphofructokinase in glyconeogeneis?
Fructose 1,6 bisphophatase
What is the equivalent enzymes for Pyruvate kinase in glyconeogeneis?
There are two:
- PEP carboxylase
- Pyruvate carboxylase
Note that PEP carboxylase acts on OAO.
Phosphoglucomutase
Catalyzes reaction from G1P to G6P and vice versa. Used in the formation/breakdown of glycogen.
Type I GSD
Defect in the G6Pase–liver cannot export glucose, and thus builds up. Leads to hypoglycemia and increased liver stores
Type II GSD
Also known as Pomp disease
-Deficiency in acid maltase (alpha-gluconsidase). This enzyme is required for degradtaion of glycogen that slowly accumulates in the lysosome. Thus over time, the lysosome fills with glycogen and kills the cell. Death occurs by cardiac or respiratory failure.
