In gluconeogenesis, the first set of enzimes need to turn pyruvate or oxaloacetate into PEP. The enzimes needed to convert PEP into glucose (after many steps) are located in the cytoplasm. As you might recall, glycolisis occrurs in the cytoplasm while TCA (and hence Oxaloacetate) occurs in the mitochondrion.
THE MALATE ASPARTATE SHUTTLE WILL TRANSPORT OXALOACETATE FROM THE MITOCHONDRION INTO THE CYTOPLASM so it can follow all the other reactons that will lead to glucose.

In Sugarcane how Starch is converted into Glucose?
by malate aspartate pathway
What are the precursors to produce gluconeogenesis?
The precursors for gluconeogenesis include lactate, glycerol, and glucogenic amino acids. These substrates can be converted into pyruvate, which then enters the gluconeogenesis pathway to produce glucose.
What is an aspartate?
An aspartate is a salt or ester of aspartic acid.
How many carbon atoms does malate have?
Malate has four carbon atoms.
What is the iupac name for potassium malate?
The IUPAC name of potassium malate is dipotassium 2-hydroxybutanedioate.
What is the difference between aspartate and aspartame?
Aspartate is an amino acid that is naturally found in the body and in some foods, while aspartame is an artificial sweetener made from aspartate.
How many carbons are in a molecuole of malate at the end of the Krebs cycle?
There are four carbons in a molecule of malate at the end of the Krebs cycle.
How many ATP is released in kidney cells?
38 atp are released in kidney cells because malate asparatic acid works as shuttle in kidney cells which cannot use any ATP for the transportation of NADH to succinic dehydrogenase.
What is the zip code of malate?
1004
What is the three-letter code for the amino acid aspartate?
The three-letter code for the amino acid aspartate is Asp.
How many APT does glucose yield?
Glucose yields a net gain of 38 adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules through cellular respiration.
Can aspartate be phosphorylated in biological systems?
Yes, aspartate can be phosphorylated in biological systems through the addition of a phosphate group to its structure.
