Block 2 Glycolysis Flashcards
GLUT-1
ubiquitous, highest in erythrocytes
GLUT-2
liver, beta cells of pancreas, small intestine high KM
GLUT- 3
neurons, placenta, testes, high affinity, low km
GLUT-4
muscle and adipose tissue
GLUT-5
highest in small intestine
GLUT-4 regulation
insulin triggers exocytosis of GLUT-4 which increases uptake of glucose by 20 fold
GLUT-2 significance
important to keep blood glucose levels regular in fed and fasted state
Glycolysis
10 step converting gulcose into 2 pyruvate, genertaing ATP and NADH
Rxn 1-5
energy consumption
rxn 6-10
Energy production
RXN 1
Hexokinase/Gluckinase
Glucose + ATP -> Glucose 6-phosphate + ADP
traps glucose in the cytosol of the cell
RXN 2
Phophoglucoisomerase
shifting the carbonyl carbon from C1 to C2
Glucose 6 phosphate -> fructose 6 phosphate
RXN 3
Committed step! PFK-1
fructose 6-phosphate + ATP -> Fructose 1,6 biphosphate
RXN 4
Aldolase
Fructose 1,6 bisphospate -> dihydroxyacetone phosphate (ketose) + glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate (aldose)
RXN 5
Triosphosphate isomerase
Dihydroxyacetone phosphate -> glyceraldehyde 3 Phosphate (GAP)
