| - | Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from certain non-carbohydrate carbon substrates. Phosphoglycerate kinase | + | Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from certain non-carbohydrate carbon substrates. [[Phosphoglycerate Kinase|Phosphoglycerate kinase]] is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transfer of a phosphate group from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (1,3-BPG) to ADP producing 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PG) and ATP : |
1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + ADP ⇌ glycerate 3-phosphate + ATP | 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate + ADP ⇌ glycerate 3-phosphate + ATP | ||
| - | Like all kinases it is a transferase. PGK is a major enzyme used in glycolysis, in the first ATP-generating step of the glycolytic pathway. In gluconeogenesis, the reaction catalyzed by PGK proceeds in the opposite direction, generating ADP and 1,3-BPG. | + | Like all kinases it is a transferase.
