Study Notes
Regulation of Glycolysis Pathway
- The Glycolysis pathway is regulated by control of three enzymes: Hexokinase, Phosphofructokinase, and Pyruvate Kinase.
Local Control of Metabolism
- Local control of metabolism involves regulatory effects of varied concentrations of pathway substrates or intermediates, benefiting the cell itself.
- This type of control occurs in extrahepatic tissues, such as muscle and red blood cells (RBCs).
Global Control of Metabolism
- Global control of metabolism benefits the whole organism and often involves hormone-activated signal cascades.
- The liver has a major role in global control, particularly in maintaining blood levels of various nutrients, including glucose.
- Hepatocytes (liver cells) have key roles in metabolism, with a focus on maintaining whole-body homeostasis.
