How does pyruvate kinase deficiency affect the body?
PKD is caused by a deficiency in the enzyme, pyruvate kinase.
The enzyme pyruvate kinase is responsible for catalyzing the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate into?
pyruvate
Is magnesium a cofactor of glycolysis?
Yes, Mg2+ is a cofactor for the enzymes phosphofructo kinase-1, phosphoglycerate kinase, enolase, and pyruvate kinase in glycolysis.
Which enzyme(s) bypass the pyruvate kinase reaction of glycolysis in gluconeogenesis?
pyruvate carboxylase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK)
What enzyme is responsible for aerobic respiration?
There are very many enzymes involved. A few from glycolysis are: hexokinase and glucokinase, phosphohexose isomerase, phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase; from pyruvate decarboxylation are pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase; and a few from the Kreb's cycle are: aconitase, alpha-ketoglutamate dehydrogenase, succinate thiokinase, and fumarase.
How is PKD measured?
A diagnosis of PKD can be made by measuring the amount of pyruvate kinase in red blood cells.
What enzymes in the glycolysis pathway in the liver catalyze irreversible reactions?
Glucokinase, phosphofructokinase-1, pyruvate kinase
Who is most likely to get pyruvate kinase deficiency?
Caucasians of northern and central European decent are more likely to have the 1529A mutations, individuals of southern European descent usually have the 1456T mutation,
What has the author Philip Dykshoorn written?
Philip Dykshoorn has written: 'Identification of an upstream activating sequence of the yeast pyruvate kinase gene (PYK)'
What is used in glycolysis?
this is shamefully vague question. In glycolysis, glucose and (hexokinase, phosphogluco-mutase, aldolase, triose-phosphate isomerase, glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate-kinase, phosphoglycerate mutase, enolase and pyruvate kinase) enzymes are used.
What is converted to pyruvate in cellular respiration?
Via the enzyme 'pyruvate kinase' , phosphoenolpyruvate is combined with Adp and Pi to {100%} YIELD pyruvate [pyruvic acid] and Atp. Starting from Glucose, there are at least six separate [because each step "has" its own Enzyme to THOROUGHLY control the yield of the reaction] steps that precede the above.
What is the chemical equation of carbohydrate?
CH3COCO2H is the chemical formula for Pyruvate. The chemical equation is the term for a reaction, therefore there is no chemical equation for Pyruvate. There is a chemical equation for the synthesis of Pyruvate, such as that done by pyruvate kinase during Glycolysis whereby Phosphoenolpyruvate gets phosphorylated by ATP giving Pyruvate. Or the creation of Pyruvate in a laboratory by the hydrolysi of acetyl cyanide, after forming it by combining acetyl choloride with potassium cyanide: CH3COCI + KCN -> CH3COCN ->CH3COCOOH
