regulation

Last reviewed 01/2018

As the majority of non-equilibrium reactions in glycolysis are unsaturated, the rate of flow through the pathway is dependent on provision of precursors by, for example:

• glycogenolysis in the liver
• glucose, fructose and galactose absorption from the gut

In tandem, a number of enzymes within the pathway are subject to regulation by agents both extrinsic and intrinsic to the cell:

• hexokinase
• 6-phosphofructokinase
• pyruvate kinase
