TCA-cycle enzyme set (downstream oxidation)
What it does, reaction by reaction
Ketolysis (Ketone Body Utilization) Lipid Metabolism · Mitochondrial matrix
2 acetyl-CoA → 4 CO2 through two TCA-cycle turns
Converts Acetyl-CoA
› Notes
Citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, succinyl-CoA synthetase, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, and associated reactions oxidize the acetyl groups. This downstream oxidation yields reducing equivalents and GTP, but the SCOT reaction has displaced one GTP equivalent per acetoacetate activated.
