Describe the path a molecule of threonine would take in the formation of glucose. Include every step (metabolic intermediates) and pertinent enzymes. Note: threonine is converted to succinyl CoA upon its catabolism
Catabolic pathways from methionine, isoleucine, threonine, and valine to succinyl-CoA. Isoleucine also contributes two of its carbon atoms to acetyl-CoA (see also Fig. 1724). The threonine pathway shown here occurs in humans and pertinent enzymes
These are the enzymes helpful for the synthesis of glucose in the body
