Q29-13P

Question

Write a mechanism for step 6 of gluconeogenesis, the reduction of 3-phoshoglyceryl phosphate with NADH/H+ to yield glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.

Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer

The Gluconeogenesis reaction is represented in the diagram below.



1To Apply the major source of energy

During muscular action, Glycolysis is the primary source of energy as ATP for skeletal muscle. Lactate builds up in the muscle as a result.

2To Given in the resting state

Excess lactate is delivered to the given in the resting state.


Gluconeogenesis is the process of converting a non-carbohydrate precursor, such as lactate, into glucose.


A gluconeogenesis step is necessary for the equation.
