In what organ does glycolysis occur?
LIVER
Describe the pathway lactose takes to reach the enterocytes (and what has it become)?
Lactose is converted to Galactose (lactase)

Galactose crosses the outer endothelial layer of the enterocyte capillary by facilitated diffusion (sodium-dependent co-transport)

Galactose diffuses into the enteroyte
Describe the pathway starch takes to reach the enterocytes (and what does it become)?
Starch is converted into one of these by amylase:

isomaltose, maltose, maltriose, alpha-limit destrin

which are converted to glucose by alpha-glucosidases

glucose crosses the outer capillary membrane by sodium-dependent co-transport and the inner membrane by diffusion
What is the only monosaccaride that crosses BOTH sides of the enterocyte capillary by simple diffusion?
FRUCTOSE
What enzyme converts sucrose to fructose?
SUCRASE
What enzyme is responsible for maintaining the Na+ gradient necessary to drive glucose uptake?

Glycolysis, Step 1
Glucose --> glucose - 6 - phosphate
ATP --> ADP

Enzyme: Hexokinase (glucokinase in liver)
Glycolysis, Step 2
Glucose - 6- phosphate --> Fructose - 6- phosphate

Enzyme: Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI)
Glycolysis, Step 3
Fructose-6-phosphate --> Fructose-1-6-phosphate
ATP-->ADP

Enzyme: Phosphofructokinase (PFK)
Glycolysis, Step 4
F-1,6-P --> GAD or --> DHP, where
GAD <--> DHP

Enzymes: aldolase, triosephosphate isomerase
Glycolysis, Step 5
GAD --> 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate
NAD+ + Pi --> NADH

Enzyme: glyceraldehyde 3-P dehydrogenase
Glycolysis, Step 6
1,3-bisphosphoglycerate --> 3-phosphoglycerate
ADP --> ATP

Enzyme: Phosphoglycerate kinase (substrate level phosphorylation!)
Glycolysis, Step 7
3-phosphoglycerate --> 2-phosphoglycerate

Enzyme: phosphoglyceromutase
Glycolysis, Step 8
2-phosphoglycerate --> phosphoenolpyruvate

Enzyme: Enolase (dehydration)
Glycolysis, Step 9
Phosphoenolpyruvate --> Pyruvate
ADP --> ATP

Enzyme: pyruvate kinase (PK)
(substrate level phosphorylation)
Glycolysis, Step 10
Pyruvate --> Lactate
NADH --> NAD+

Enzyme: lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
Describe allosteric regulation of the 1st step of glycolysis
Hexokinase/glucokinase allosterically inhibited by GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATE

*NEGATIVE FEEDBACK

Regulates: (1) amount sugar available for glycolysis and (2) controls sugar uptake and BGL
Three phases of glycolysis
1) Energy utilization

2) cleavage

3) Energy producing
Three highly regulated steps in glycolysis
Step 1: glucose --> G-6-P (hexokinase)

Step 3: F-6-P --> F-1,6-P (PFK)

Penultimate step: PEP --> pyruvate (PK)
Warburg Effect
increased glycolytic rate of CA cells compared to normal surrounding cells

b/c tumors have decreased supply of O2, they adapt by increasing rate of glucose utilization
Cori Cycle
recycling of lactate produced by muscles during anaerobic metabolsim

lactate sent to liver and converted to glucose before being sent back to the muscles
Overall glycolysis REACTION
1 glucose + 2 NAD+ + 2 ADP --> 2 pyruvate + 2 ATP + 2 NADH + 2H+
Comparative properties of Hexokinase and Glucokinase
SEE CP 194
3rd step of Glycolysis involves the isomerization of a ______ ( ______) to a ______ (______)

Negative regulation: ATP, citrate
What hormones positively and negatively regulate Step 3 of glycolysis
Positive: INSULIN

Negative: GLUCAGON
What does regulation of Step 3 of Glycolysis ensure?
that glycolysis and gluconeogenesis can't happen in the same cell at the same time
How does F-2,6-bisP ensure the mutual exclusivity of glycolysis and GNG?
