AccessionGenProp0689
Nameglyoxalate conversion to phosphoglycerate
TypePATHWAY
DescriptionGlyoxalate is a common intermediate produced by a number of catabolic and anapleurotic pathways, notably the breakdown for allantoate, proline and glycine and the glyoxalate shunt. This pathway is initiated by the incorporation of carbon dioxide utilizing the TPP-dependent enzyme, tartronate-semialdehyde synthase (aka glyoxalate carbo-ligase, gcl). Note that this is not a carbon-fixation pathway. For instance, in the case of allantoate catabolism, the production of glyoxalate also produces one or more molecules of carbon dioxide. Intermediates in this pathway (tartronate semialdehyde, and glycerate) may be diverted to other final products involved, for instance in covactor biosynthesis. Phosphoglycerate may be put to a large number of metabolic uses.
