Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that converts glucose C6H12O6, into pyruvate, CH3COCOO− + H+. The free energy released in this process is used to form the ATP and NADH.
Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from non-carbohydrate carbon substrates such as pyruvate, lactate, glycerol, glucogenic amino acids, and fatty acids.
Description adapted from [Wikipedia](http://www.wikipedia.org).This pathway was inferred from Homo sapiens pathway [http://www.wikipathways.org/index.php?title=Pathway:WP534&oldid=28564 WP534(r28564)] with a 76% conversion rate.Gck is mainly active in liverNot present in brain and muscle, so those organs can not produce their own glucose in the gluconeogenesis pathwayd18glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathwayPW:0000025Pathway Ontology22628558PubMedA mitochondrial pyruvate carrier required for pyruvate uptake in yeast, Drosophila, and humans.Science2012Bricker DKTaylor EBSchell JCOrsak TBoutron AChen YCCox JECardon CMVan Vranken JGDephoure NRedin CBoudina SGygi SPBrivet MThummel CSRutter J
