Term
Gluconeogenesis overview
Definition
  • production of glucose from noncarbohydrate precursors. occurs primarily in the liver.
  • provides glucose to the bloodstream.
  • not the same as glycolysis but has some common enzymes.
Term
unique enzymes for gluconeogenesis (not in glycolysis)
Definition
pyruvate carboxylase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase
Term
pyruvate carboxylase
Definition
pyruvate + ATP, HCO3- -pyruvate carboxylase-> oxaloacetate
Term
phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) carboxykinase
Definition
oxaloacetate + GTP -PEP carboxykinase-> PEP + GDP, CO2
Term
Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase
Definition
F1,6BP + H2O -F1,6BPase-> F6P + Pi
Term
glucose-6-phosphatase
Definition
G6P + H2O -G6Pase-> glucose + Pi
Term
F1,6BPase vs PFK
Definition
PFK: up regulated by F2,6BP and AMP; down reg by ATP, citrate, H. F1,6BPase: up reg by citrate, down reg by F26BP and AMP
Term
sources for gluconeogenesis
Definition
pyruvate: comes from lactate and some amino acids. oxaloacetate: some amino acids. DHAP: glycerol
Term
mitochondrial enzyme
Definition
pyruvate carboxylase. oxaloacetate must be transported to it
