Gluconeogenesis pathway

Table of Contents • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Introduction to Gluconeogenesis Gluconeogenesis is the biosynthesis of new glucose, (i.e. not glucose from glycogen). This process is frequently referred to as endogenous glucose production (EGP). The production of glucose from other carbon skeletons is necessary since the testes, erythrocytes and kidney medulla exclusively utilize glucose for ATP production. The brain also utilizes large amounts of the daily glucose consumed or produced via gluconeogenesis. However, in addition to glucose, the brain can derive energy from Pathway of Gluconeogenesis Synthesis of glucose from three and four carbon precursors is essentially a reversal of Reactions of Gluconeogenesis: Gluconeogenesis from two moles of pyruvate to two moles of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate consumes six moles of ATP. This makes the process of gluconeogenesis very costly from an energy standpoint considering that glucose oxidation to two moles of pyruvate yields two moles of ATP. The major hepatic substrates for gluconeogenesis (glycerol, lactate, alanine, and pyruvate) are enclosed in red boxes for highlighting. The reactions that take place in the mitochondria are pyruvate to OAA and OAA to malate. Pyruvate from the cytosol is transported across the inner mitochondrial membrane by the pyruvate transporter. Transport of pyruvate across the plasma membrane is catalyzed by the m of liver glucokinase most of the glucose will not be phosphorylated an...

Carbon metabolic pathways are called central metabolic pathways as these are the key pathways to generate energy and intermediates for the synthesis of biomolecules. The major carbon metabolic pathways are glycolysis/glycolytic pathway/Embden–Meyerhoff–Parnas pathway (EMP), pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) and Entner–Doudoroff (ED) pathway. Glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway are ubiquitous in all domains of life. Glycolytic pathway is an anaerobic pathway and does not require oxygen essentially for conversion of glucose to pyruvate. However, glycolysis is categorized as aerobic or anaerobic depending upon the oxidation of NADH generated during glycolysis. If NAD + is generated through oxidative phosphorylation, it is aerobic glycolysis, and if it is generated through fermentation during production of lactic acid/alcohol, it is called anaerobic glycolysis. Detailed pathway and its regulation by the enzymes phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase are discussed. Further, synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources such as pyruvate, lactate, acetate, fatty acids and amino acids as a part of gluconeogenetic pathway is described. Regulation and coordination between gluconeogenesis and glycolysis is also described in terms of key regulatory metabolites.

\( \newcommand\) • • • • • • • Glycolysisis the first step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism. Nearly all living organisms carry out glycolysis as part of their metabolism. The process does not use oxygen and is thereforeanaerobic. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Glucose enters heterotrophic cells in two ways. One method is through secondary active transport in which the transport takes place against the glucose concentration gradient. The other mechanism uses a group of integral proteins called GLUT proteins, also known as glucose transporter proteins. These transporters assist in the facilitated diffusion of glucose. First Half of Glycolysis (Energy-Requiring Steps) Step 1. The first step in glycolysis (Figure 9.1.1) is catalyzed by hexokinase, an enzyme with broad specificity that catalyzes the phosphorylation of six-carbon sugars. Hexokinase phosphorylates glucose using ATP as the source of the phosphate, producing glucose-6-phosphate, a more reactive form of glucose. This reaction prevents the phosphorylated glucose molecule from continuing to interact with the GLUT proteins, and it can no longer leave the cell because the negatively charged phosphate will not allow it to cross the hydrophobic interior of the plasma membrane. Step 2. In the second step of glycolysis, an isomerase converts glucose-6-phosphate into one of its isomers, fructose-6-phosphate. Anisomeraseis an enzyme that c...
