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.
