FATE OF PYRUVIC ACID
Pyruvic acid:
The pyruvic acid is made through the process of
glycolysis from glucose, and converted back to
carbohydrates via gluconeogenesis and by fatty
acids through the reaction of Acetyl-CoA
...
The
Pyruvate is reduced by the NADH to lactate,
catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase
...
Alanine formation:
Pyruvate can form alanine by transamination
...
This allows pyruvate to be converted to amino acid which can
enter protein metabolism
...
1
Malic Acid formation:
It takes place in the presence of
NADPH+H and CO2
...
This product takes part in the citric
acid cycle
...
The importance of Oxaloacetate in addition
to its role in citric acid cycle is that it can give rise to glucose (gluconeogenesis)
...
These reactions also needs Coenzymes:
Thiamine
Pyrophosphate
Lipoic Acid
Coenzyme A,
FAD and NAD
Mg+2
MN+2
This irreversible reaction is the link between glycolysis and the citric acid cycle
