metabolic pathway
21pentose phosphate pathway — (= pentose shunt; hexose monophosphate pathway; phosphogluconate oxidative pathway) Alternative metabolic route to Embden Meyerhof pathway for breakdown of glucose. Diverges from this when glucose 6 phosphate is oxidized to ribose 5 phosphate by… …
22Transsulfuration pathway — The transsulfuration pathway is a metabolic pathway that converts cysteine to homocysteine, through the intermediate cystathionine. This pathway can have many different functions. In organisms that synthesise cysteine in sulfur assimilation, the… …
23Hatch-Slack-Kortshak pathway — (= Hatch Slack pathway) Metabolic pathway responsible for primary CO2 fixation in C4 plant photosynthesis. The enzymes that are found in mesophyll chloroplasts include PEP carboxylase, that adds CO2to phosphoenolpyruvate to give the 4 carbon… …
24RMP pathway — (= ribulose monophosphate pathway; allulose phosphate pathway.) A metabolic pathway used by methylotropic bacteria for the conversion of formaldehyde to hexose sugars etc. In the first stage ribulose 5 phosphate is condensed with HCHO …
25Embden-Meyerhof pathway — Emb·den Mey·er·hof pathway em dən mī ər .hȯf , emp n GLYCOLYSIS Embden Gustav Georg (1874 1933) German physiological chemist. In 1904 Embden became director of the chemistry laboratory of the medical clinic at the Frankfurt Sachsenhausen… …
26Methylglyoxal pathway — The methylglyoxal pathway is an offshoot of glycolysis found in some prokaryotes, which converts glucose into methylglyoxal and then into pyruvate. However unlike glycolysis the methylglyoxal pathway does not produce adenosine triphosphate, ATP.… …
27Entner–Doudoroff pathway — The Entner Doudoroff pathway describes an alternate series of reactions that catabolize glucose to pyruvate using a set of enzymes different from those used in either glycolysis or the pentose phosphate pathway. Most bacteria use glycolysis and… …

29amphibolic pathway — a group of metabolic reactions with a dual function, providing small metabolites for further catabolism to end products or for use as precursors in synthetic, anabolic reactions. The tricarboxylic acid cycle is an example. See also anabolism and… …
30hyperammonemia — ▪ metabolic disorder disorder due to excessive amounts of ammonia in the blood caused by a genetic defect present at birth, by a genetic defect acquired in adulthood, or by liver disease. Ammonia is metabolized by the liver to produce a… …
