Study Notes
Enzymes and Tissues
- Hexokinase is found in most tissues and has a low Km for glucose.
Enzymes and Cellular Locations
- Glucokinase is found in liver cells and the β cells of the pancreas and is activated by insulin.
Glycolysis
- The pyruvate production phase produces two pyruvates.
Regulation of Glucokinase
- Glucokinase in liver cells and the β cells of the pancreas is inhibited by glucose-6-phosphate.
Glycolysis Strategy
- The strategy of glycolysis is to generate ATP from glucose.
