Acetyl CoA is a key intermediate in many biochemical pathways. During cellular respiration, it is produced by pyruvate and then enters the Krebs... View Article
The acetyl CoA enters Krebs' cycle during aerobic respiration. It occurs in the mitochondrial matrix. Also Check: Where Does the Krebs Cycle... View Article
The enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase complex present in mitochondria catalyses the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetyl CoA. The... View Article
Most of the amino acids are converted into Krebs cycle intermediates, pyruvate or acetyl CoA. Also Check: What Type Of Biomolecule Is ATP?... View Article
Glucogenic amino acids can be converted into glucose by gluconeogenesis. Gluconeogenesis is the process by which glucose is produced from... View Article
Proteins are first degraded to individual amino acids by proteases and then can be converted into acetyl CoA, pyruvate or Citric acid cycle... View Article
Glycogenesis is the conversion of glycogen from glucose. Glucose is stored as glycogen in liver and muscle cells. Insulin stimulates the process... View Article
Acetyl CoA contains an acetyl group, which is a two-carbon molecule. When pyruvate (3C) is decarboxylated, it gets converted into 2 carbon acetyl... View Article
Yes, some amino acids can be converted to acetyl CoA, they are termed ketogenic amino acids. Ketogenic amino acids are degraded to acetyl CoA or... View Article
Acetyl CoA is a key intermediate in various metabolic pathways. The most likely fates of acetyl CoA are: It enters the Krebs’ cycle in the... View Article
The main source of acetyl CoA is by the breakdown of glucose through glycolysis and by beta-oxidation of fatty acid. Pyruvate produced at the end... View Article
Acetyl CoA to pyruvate transition is an irreversible reaction so acetyl CoA cannot make glucose. Gluconeogenesis is the process by which glucose... View Article
Acetyl CoA is a precursor for the synthesis of fatty acids. Acetyl CoA is synthesised in the body by many ways, e.g. pyruvate gets decarboxylated... View Article
