What it does, reaction by reaction
1 reactions
Glycerol-3-Phosphate Shuttle Energy Metabolism & Cellular Respiration · Cytosol + inner mitochondrial membrane
step 2
Irreversible/directional
Glycerol-3-phosphate + FAD -> dihydroxyacetone phosphate + FADH2
Converts Glycerol-3-phosphate FAD into Dihydroxyacetone phosphate FADH2
› Notes
Faces the intermembrane space and feeds electrons to the Q pool, so each cytosolic NADH yields only ~1.5 ATP. Dominant in skeletal muscle and brown adipose tissue.
