How Can Alanine Be Converted To Camp?
How Can Alanine Be Converted To Camp? Since alanine is a glucogenic amino acid it is readily converted in the liver by the catalytic action of glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (GPT) also known as alanine transaminase, ALT with α-ketoglutarate to form glutamate and pyruvate. Pyruvate is converted to glucose by the gluconeogenic pathway (Fig. 8.5B). What enzyme
