Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase

3 reactions · 3 pathways

What it does, reaction by reaction

3 reactions

Gluconeogenesis Carbohydrate Metabolism · Cytosol + mitochondrion + ER

step 8 Irreversible/directional

1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate + NADH + H+ → glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate + Pi + NAD+

Converts 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate NADH H+ into Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate Pi NAD+

Notes

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase uses NADH and is the reverse of glycolytic step 6. It occurs twice per glucose; the required cytosolic NADH may derive from lactate oxidation or from the malate shuttle.

Glycolysis Carbohydrate Metabolism · Cytosol

step 6 Reversible

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate + inorganic phosphate + NAD+ → 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + NADH + H+

Converts Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate Pi NAD+ into 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate NADH H+

Notes

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase oxidizes the aldehyde and captures the energy in an acyl-phosphate bond; it requires NAD+ and free inorganic phosphate (Pi). The reaction is reversible. Because it occurs twice per glucose, it generates two cytosolic NADH.

Anaerobic Glycolysis / Lactic Acid Fermentation Energy Metabolism & Cellular Respiration · Cytosol

step 6 Reversible

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate + Pi + NAD+ ⇌ 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + NADH + H+

Converts Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate Pi NAD+ into 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate NADH H+

Notes

Required cofactors/substrates: NAD+ and inorganic phosphate; the enzyme uses an active-site cysteine. This reversible redox step creates the cytosolic NADH that must be reoxidized by lactate dehydrogenase under anaerobic conditions.
