2 reactions · 1 pathways

What it does, reaction by reaction

2 reactions

Glucose-Alanine Cycle Carbohydrate Metabolism · Cytosol

step 1 Reversible

Pyruvate + glutamate -> alanine + alpha-ketoglutarate (muscle)

Converts Pyruvate Glutamate into Alanine Alpha-ketoglutarate

› Notes

Exports both muscle nitrogen and carbon in a non-toxic form.

step 2 Reversible

Alanine + alpha-ketoglutarate -> pyruvate + glutamate (liver)

Converts Alanine Alpha-ketoglutarate into Pyruvate Glutamate

› Notes

Pyruvate enters gluconeogenesis; the nitrogen passes through glutamate to the urea cycle.
