fructokinase

Example:The rate of fructose metabolism is influenced by the activity of fructokinase in the liver.

Definition:The biological process where fructose is converted into chemical energy and other biomolecules by cellular respiration and biosynthesis.

Example:Fructokinase is often found associated with carrier proteins that transport fructose into the cell.

Definition:A protein that transports substances across cell membranes, particularly important for nutrient absorption and waste removal.

Example:The metabolic pathway involving fructokinase is crucial for the metabolism of fructose beyond the liver.

Definition:A series of biochemical reactions that occur in a living organism to sustain life, such as the conversion of fructose into glucose.
