Carbohydrate metabolism in rat kidney: heterogeneous distribution of glycolytic and gluconeogenic key enzymes. 1977

H Schmid, and M Scholz, and A Mall, and U Schmidt, and W G Guder, and U C Dubach

The distribution pattern of the unidirectional enzymes of gluconeogenesis and glycolysis, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11) and phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11), within the nephron was studied by the microdissection and oil-well techniques according to LOWRY and PASSONNEAU [11]. Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase activity was found to be highest in the proximal convolution, whereas phosphofructokinase revealed its highest activity in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop. Starvation and NH4Cl acidosis led to an increase of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase activity in the proximal convolution. These results indicate a clear separation of the glucose synthesizing and degrading pathways within the nephron, which is maintained in conditions that stimulate gluconeogenesis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008297 Male Males
D010732 Phosphofructokinase-1 An allosteric enzyme that regulates glycolysis by catalyzing the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to fructose-6-phosphate to yield fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. D-tagatose- 6-phosphate and sedoheptulose-7-phosphate also are acceptors. UTP, CTP, and ITP also are donors. In human phosphofructokinase-1, three types of subunits have been identified. They are PHOSPHOFRUCTOKINASE-1, MUSCLE TYPE; PHOSPHOFRUCTOKINASE-1, LIVER TYPE; and PHOSPHOFRUCTOKINASE-1, TYPE C; found in platelets, brain, and other tissues. 6-Phosphofructokinase,6-Phosphofructo-1-kinase,Fructose-6-P 1-Kinase,Fructose-6-phosphate 1-Phosphotransferase,6 Phosphofructokinase,Phosphofructokinase 1
D005943 Gluconeogenesis Biosynthesis of GLUCOSE from nonhexose or non-carbohydrate precursors, such as LACTATE; PYRUVATE; ALANINE; and GLYCEROL.
D006019 Glycolysis A metabolic process that converts GLUCOSE into two molecules of PYRUVIC ACID through a series of enzymatic reactions. Energy generated by this process is conserved in two molecules of ATP. Glycolysis is the universal catabolic pathway for glucose, free glucose, or glucose derived from complex CARBOHYDRATES, such as GLYCOGEN and STARCH.

D000141 Acidosis, Renal Tubular A group of genetic disorders of the KIDNEY TUBULES characterized by the accumulation of metabolically produced acids with elevated plasma chloride, hyperchloremic metabolic ACIDOSIS. Defective renal acidification of URINE (proximal tubules) or low renal acid excretion (distal tubules) can lead to complications such as HYPOKALEMIA, hypercalcinuria with NEPHROLITHIASIS and NEPHROCALCINOSIS, and RICKETS.
