What it does, reaction by reaction

3 reactions

Gluconeogenesis Carbohydrate Metabolism · Cytosol + mitochondrion + ER

step 7 Irreversible/directional

3-Phosphoglycerate + ATP โ†’ 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + ADP

Converts 3-Phosphoglycerate ATP into 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate ADP

Notes

Phosphoglycerate kinase requires ATP and Mg2+. This is the reverse of glycolytic substrate-level phosphorylation and occurs twice for each glucose produced.

Glycolysis Carbohydrate Metabolism · Cytosol

step 7 Reversible

1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate + ADP โ†’ 3-phosphoglycerate + ATP

Converts 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate ADP into 3-Phosphoglycerate ATP

Notes

Phosphoglycerate kinase requires Mg2+ and catalyzes reversible substrate-level phosphorylation. Occurring twice per glucose, this first payoff reaction produces two ATP and thereby repays the two ATP invested in steps 1 and 3.

step 7 Reversible

1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate + ADP โ‡Œ 3-phosphoglycerate + ATP

Converts 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate ADP into 3-Phosphoglycerate ATP

Notes

Required cofactors: ADP and Mg2+. This reversible substrate-level phosphorylation step produces the first ATP-generating reaction of glycolysis; because it occurs twice per glucose, it replaces the two ATP invested earlier.
