    4.2.3.3 | dihydroxyacetone phosphate |
- |
| 4.2.3.3 | dihydroxyacetone phosphate |
first enzyme in the reaction sequence for the conversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to pyruvate, may play a role in the control of glycolysis |
| 4.2.3.3 | dihydroxyacetone phosphate |
the enzyme is involved in the methylglyoxal by-pass |
| 4.2.3.3 | dihydroxyacetone phosphate |
during elevated metabolism, the synthesis of methylglyoxal from dihydroxyacetone phosphate temporarily relieves the cells from stress caused by phosphorylated intermediates and allows the cells to grow for a limited time. If during this period the environment changes, e.g. the level of the carbon source is reduced, the cells are not only able to survive but are also able to colonize their environment |
| 4.2.3.3 | dihydroxyacetone phosphate |
the enzyme plays an important role in the catabolism of the triose phosphates |
| 4.2.3.3 | dihydroxyacetone phosphate |
constitutive enzyme, may be involved in by-pass sequence for part of the Embden-Meyerhof glycolytic pathway |
| 4.2.3.3 | glycerone phosphate |
- |
| 4.2.3.3 | glycerone phosphate |
the unregulated production of methylglyoxal appears to be due to a rapid increase in the glycolysis intermediates from ribose degradation. Such a metabolic burden may result in methylglyoxal production by methylglyoxal synthase |
