Gluconeogenesis (main aspects)

Gluconeogenesis

- Type of metabolic pathway: anabolic, linear
- Main goal: production of glucose
- Subcellular localization: mitochondria, cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum
- Number of biochemical steps: 10
- Energetic output: -4 ATP, -2GTP e -2 NADH
- Used substrates (per glucose molecule): 2 pyruvate or 2 lactate or 2 glycerol
