1. Intermediary pathways to synthesis of pyruvate
Intermediary pathways to synthesis of pyruvate. 1, Pyruvate phosphate dikinase (132, 141); 2, pyruvate kinase (271) (the relative roles of pyruvate phosphate dikinase and pyruvate kinase in the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate have not been determined); 3, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxyphosphotransferase; 4, malate dehydrogenase (188,285); 5, malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) (188,294); 6, alanine transaminase (72, 263); 7, aspartate transaminase (215).

Pi, inorganic phosphate. This figure has been adapted from material presented in prior reviews (55, 215) and updated from more recent literature (see citations for individual enzymes).
