2. Expression of the glucose-6-phosphatase system in endocrine cells
Abstract : Glucose-6-phosphatase (G6pase) is a multi-component enzyme system, which regulates the catalysis of gluco se-6 -phosphate (G6P) to glucose and inorganic phosphate. This reaction constitutes the final steps of both gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis, processes that are critical in the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. READ MORE
