Triacylglycerol Synthesis and Lipolysis Lipid Metabolism · Cytosol / ER

step 2 Irreversible/directional

Glycerol + ATP → glycerol-3-phosphate + ADP

Converts Glycerol ATP into Glycerol-3-phosphate ADP

Notes

In liver and kidney, glycerol kinase produces glycerol-3-phosphate, requiring ATP. This route is minor in adipocytes because glycerol kinase expression is low.
