What is the process by which an amino acid is used to make glucose?

For an amino acid to become glucose, it must enter through the different members of the Kreb's Cycle. The first reaction is to remove the amino group of the amino acid before entering the cycle. There are 5 amino acids that enter through; pyruvate: alanine, cysteine, glycine, serine and threonine alpha ketoglutarate: glutamate, glutamine, arginine, histidine, proline oxaloacetate: aspartic acid and asparagine fumarate: phenylalanine and tyrosine succinyl coA: isoleucine, methionine, valine
