G6PDH Deficiency is the Most
Common Enzymatic Deficiency in the World!
G6PDH Deficiency can cause
drug-induced hemolytic anemia
G6PDH protects against
reactive oxygen species
anabolic translation (AA)
building blocks for proteins
How many amino acids cannot be synthesized?
9
Essential Amino Acids are
required in the diet
Transamination reactions
catalyzed by aminotransferases such as glutamate dehydrogenase, which requires vitamin B6
Bilirubin
a degradation product of Heme (color of bruises)
High Bilirubin
indicates liver damage
Cumulative Feedback Inhibition
More than one product can inhibit the committed step independently of other products
Alanine can be Converted to
Pyruvate
Alanine can be Converted to Pyruvate via
alanine aminotransferase
