3.5.1.5 Inter conversion of triose phosphates
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxy acetone phosphate are interconverted by the enzyme phosphotriose isomerase. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate ↔ Dihydroxy acetone phosphate At this stage 2 molecules glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate are formed. Dihydroxyacetone phosphate is also formed from glycerol of fat, which is phosphorylated to glycerol 3 phosphate and then to dihydroxy acetone phosphate. |
