Triacylglycerol Synthesis and Lipolysis Lipid Metabolism · Cytosol / ER

step 11 Reversible

Glycerol + ATP → glycerol-3-phosphate + ADP; glycerol-3-phosphate ⇌ DHAP

Converts Glycerol ATP into Glycerol-3-phosphate ADP

› Notes

Hepatic glycerol kinase and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase metabolize adipose-derived glycerol. These downstream reactions permit glycerol carbon to enter gluconeogenesis or glycolysis during fasting.
