Compound: FDB003729 (Zinc)
Term: Alanine Metabolism
Definition: this reversible reaction involves the interconversion of alanine and pyruvate, coupled to the interconversion of alpha-ketoglutarate (2-oxoglutarate) and glutamate. because transamination reactions are readily reversible and pyruvate is widespread, alanine can be easily formed in most tissues.
Parent Term: Biochemical pathway
Parent Definition: A linked series of chemical reactions that occur in a defined order within or between organism cells, and lead to a known function or end product.
