Glycerol 3 Phosphate Shuttle

Glycerin 3 Phosphat Shuttle. Triglycerides Synthesis NADH must be transported into the mitochondria to enter the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. The glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle is a biochemical pathway that facilitates the transport of electrons from cytosolic NADH into the mitochondria, allowing for ATP production during cellular respiration

Another Ca 2+-sensitive booster of mitochondrial ATP synthesis is the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle (G3PS), whose role in neuronal energy supply has remained elusive Like Complex II of the electron transport chain, flavoprotein dehydrogenase donates electrons directly to Coenzyme Q without pumping protons

An isozyme of Glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase—present on the outer surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane— reduces FAD to FADH 2 Another Ca 2+-sensitive booster of mitochondrial ATP synthesis is the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle (G3PS), whose role in neuronal energy supply has remained elusive The reducing equivalents are transported through glycerol 3-phosphate into the mitochondria

Triglycerides Synthesis. Another Ca 2+-sensitive booster of mitochondrial ATP synthesis is the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle (G3PS), whose role in neuronal energy supply has remained elusive In G3PS, NAD + is regenerated by cytosolic glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPD) by converting dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) into glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P)

Glycerol 3 Phosphate Shuttle. Like Complex II of the electron transport chain, flavoprotein dehydrogenase donates electrons directly to Coenzyme Q without pumping protons by flavoprotein dehydrogenase (a different glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase); this second enzyme is an FAD-dependent enzyme located in the mitochondrial inner membrane
