| Name : | Glycerol metabolism |
| Description : | Only two enzymes are ascribed to this category. The glycosomal Glycerol kinase (GK) of trypanosomatids and the glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPD1) in yeasts. During anaerobiosis Saccharomyces cerevisiae strongly increases glycerol production by GPD1 to provide for non-respiratory oxidation of NADH to NAD(+). |
