Regulation of gluconeogenesis
The regulation of gluconeogenesis involves the enzymes unique
to pathway, and not the common ones.
the major control points of gluconeogenesis are the reactions
catalyzed by
fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase and pyruvate carboxylase.
The other two enzymes unique to gluconeogenesis, glucose-6-
phosphatase and PEP carboxykinase, are regulated at
transcriptional level.
