1, Carbohydrates are synthesized from simple precursors via gluconeogenesis A few three-carbon compounds(including lactate, pyruvate, glycerol, and 3-phosphoglycerate) serve as the major precursors for carbohydrate (glucose) biosynthesis or gluconeogenesis The reactions of gluconeogenesis are essentially the same in different organisms The conversion of pyruvate to glucose is the central pathway in gluconeogenesis
1. Carbohydrates are synthesized from simple precursors via gluconeogenesis • A few three-carbon compounds (including lactate, pyruvate, glycerol, and 3-phosphoglycerate) serve as the major precursors for carbohydrate (glucose) biosynthesis, or gluconeogenesis. • The reactions of gluconeogenesis are essentially the same in different organisms. • The conversion of pyruvate to glucose is the central pathway in gluconeogenesis

s3. Pyruvate is converted to phosphoenolpyruvate(PEP)via two alternative paths In both paths, pyr uvate is converted to oxaloacetate with the catalysis of pyruvate carboxylase)in mitochondria In one path, oxaloacetate is converted directly to PEP in the matrix of mitochondria in a reaction catalyzed by the mitochondrial PEP carboxykinase isozyme, PEP is then transported to the cytosol for further conversion
3. Pyruvate is converted to phosphoenoylpyruvate (PEP) via two alternative paths • In both paths, pyruvate is converted to oxaloacetate (with the catalysis of pyruvate carboxylase) in mitochondria. • In one path, oxaloacetate is converted directly to PEP in the matrix of mitochondria in a reaction catalyzed by the mitochondrial PEP carboxykinase isozyme, PEP is then transported to the cytosol for further conversion
In another path, oxaloacetate is first converted to malate in the matrix, which is, then transported to the cytosol. where it is converted to oxaloacetate and then PEP in a reaction catal yzed by cytosolic PEP carboxykinase isozyme Both paths involve a carboxylation decarboxylation sequence, acting as a unique way to activate pyruvate Two high-energy phosphate equivalents must be expended to convert one pyruvate to one PEP
