Glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT4), also known as solute carrier family 2, facilitated glucose transporter member 4, is a protein encoded, in humans, by the SLC2A4 gene. GLUT4 is the insulin -regulated glucose transporter found primarily in adipose tissues and striated muscle (skeletal and cardiac).
During exercise when the ATP reservoir is low (ADP>ATP), the purine nucleotide cycle produces ammonia (NH 3) when it converts AMP into IMP. (With the exception of AMP deaminase deficiency, where ammonia is produced during exercise when adenosine, from AMP, is converted into inosine). During rest (ADP<ATP), ammonia is produced from the ...
The term protein folding incorporates all the processes involved in the production of a protein after the nascent polypeptides have become synthesized by the ribosomes.The proteins destined to be secreted or sorted to other cell organelles carry an N-terminal signal sequence that will interact with a signal recognition particle (SRP).
This page is the template for the metabolic pathways template. This template should be used to illustrate the general 'shape' of metabolism within the cell. This template is part of the Metabolic Pathways task force. This template has been largely superseded by {{Metabolic metro}} but is kept as an archive
This ability reflects the essentiality of purines for life. The biochemical pathway of synthesis is very similar in eukaryotes and bacterial species, but is more variable among archaeal species. [8] A nearly complete, or complete, set of genes required for purine biosynthesis was determined to be present in 58 of the 65 archaeal species studied ...
AKT can have a number of downstream effects such as activating CREB, [2] inhibiting p27, [3] localizing FOXO in the cytoplasm, [3] activating PtdIns-3ps, [4] and activating mTOR [3] which can affect transcription of p70 or 4EBP1. [3] There are many known factors that enhance the PI3K/AKT pathway including EGF, [5] shh, [2] IGF-1, [2] insulin ...
The majority of the CSF is formed in the choroid plexus and flows through the brain along a distinct pathway: moving through the cerebral ventricular system, into the subarachnoid space surrounding the brain, then draining into the systemic blood column via arachnoid granulations of the dural sinuses or to peripheral lymphatics along cranial ...
The Entner–Doudoroff pathway (ED Pathway) is a metabolic pathway that is most notable in Gram-negative bacteria, certain Gram-positive bacteria and archaea. [1] Glucose is the substrate in the ED pathway and through a series of enzyme assisted chemical reactions it is catabolized into pyruvate .
