Glyoxylate Cycle
This video explains Glyoxylate Cycle or Glyoxylate pathway. Glyoxylate cycle found in Plants, Bacteria, Protists, Fungi. Glyocylate cycle occurs in specialized Peroxysomes called Glyoxysomes.
Key Enzymes of Glyoxylate Cycle: Isocitrate lyase & Malate Synthase
Significance of Glyoxylate Cycle
1. Synthesis of net carbohydrates from Fatty acids
2. Anaplerotic function (Replenishes Citric acid cycle intermediates)
3. Organisms can use acetate as carbon source to synthesise sugars
4. Provides metabolic diversity.
