Lecture 21: gluconeogenesis Flashcards
Where does gluconeogenesis occur?
the liver and kidney
What are the major precursors of gluconeogenesis?
lactate, amino acids, glycerol
Where is glucose 6 phosphate located?
lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum
What does the T1 protein do?
transports glucose 6 phosphate to ER
what does the T2 protein do?
transports inorganic phosphate back into cytosol
What does the T3 protein do>?
transports glucose back into the cytoplasm
How are glycolysis and gluconeogenesis regulated in the liver?
fructose 2,6 bisphospahte strongly stimulates phosphofructokinase and inhibits fructose 1,6 bisphosphate
What enzymes regulate the concentration of fructose 2,6 bisphosphate?
phosphofructosekinase 2 and fructose bisphophatase 2
