See also Neurotransmitters and Biological Regulators, Biochemistry of Neurotransmission Tyrosine The term catecholamine comes from the aromatic dialcohol, catechol. The most common catecholamines are epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, and dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-Dopa). Catecholamine analogs, such as mescaline and amphetamine have potent psychopharmacological properties. Figure 21.32 depicts the pathway to catecholamines from tyrosine.

PEPCK is an enzyme of gluconeogenesis. It catalyzes conversion of the 4-carbon compound, oxaloacetate, to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), releasing CO2. The reaction requires energy input from GTP and produces GDP. Oxaloacetate + GTP < > PEP + CO2 + GDP For PEPCK to function in gluconeogenesis, oxaloacetate produced in the pyruvate carboxylase reaction in the mitochondria, must be transported to the cytoplasm. PEPCK is not under any known allosteric control. Activity of the enzyme is regulated...

Other control points on the two pathways are shown in Figure 16.6 The major allosteric regulatory factor of the two pathways is Fructose 2,6 bisphosphate. Note in Figure 16.7 that PFK-2 and Fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase are on the same peptide and are affected differently by phosphorylation see below . Interconversion of PFK-2 and Fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase depends on the level of cAMP which is stimulated by glucagon and epinephrine and is inhibited by insulin . Increasing cAMP glucagon...

Glycogen Structure

Glycogen synthesis and breakdown are controlled tightly by hormonal action. These involve regulatory kinase cascades, as depicted in Figure 13.18 for glycogen breakdown. Like gluconeogenesis glycolysis, glycogen synthesis breakdown is reciprocally regulated. For example, epinephrine inhibits glycogen synthesis at the same time as it promotes glycogen breakdown. Glycogen synthase is the primary regulatory enzyme in glycogen synthesis. Like glycogen phosphorylase, the enzyme that breaks down...

Glycosidic bonds between monosaccharides give rise to oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. The simplest oligosaccharides, the disaccharides, include compounds such as sucrose and lactose, which are referred to as sugars like the monosaccharides . Other common disaccharides include trehalose, maltose, gentiobiose, and cellobiose. Four features distinguish disaccharides from each other 1. The two specific sugar monomers and their stereoconfigurations 2. The carbons involved in the linkage 3. The...
