The activity of its first enzyme, hexokinase, is elevated in many cancers.
Di-hydroxy-acetone phosphate is an intermediate in this process which is isomerized to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. Its penultimate step sees the production of PEP catalyzed by an enolase. The activity of its first enzyme, hexokinase, is elevated in many cancers. A feedback loop with phosphofructokinase is formed in this pathway, and it is also known as the Embden-Meyerhoff pathway. For 10 points, identify this pathway which sees the conversion of glucose into two pyruvate molecules and also the production of two ATP molecules.
