Glycolysis: A multifaceted metabolic pathway and signaling hub
Open accessAbstract
Glycolysis is a highly conserved metabolic pathway responsible for the anaerobic production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from the breakdown of glucose molecules. While serving as a primary metabolic pathway in prokaryotes, glycolysis is also utilized by respiring eukaryotic cells, providing pyruvate to fuel oxidative metabolism. Furthermore, glycolysis is the primary source of ATP production in multiple cellular states (e.g., hypoxia) and is particularly important in maintaining bioenergetic homeostasis in the most abundant cell type in the human body, the erythrocyte. Beyond its role in ATP production, glycolysis also functions as a signaling hub, producing several metabolic intermediates which serve roles in both signaling and metabolic processes. These signals emanating from the glycolytic pathway can profoundly impact cell function, phenotype, and fate and have previously been overlooked. In this review, we will discuss the role of the glycolytic pathway as a source of signaling molecules in eukaryotic cells, emphasizing the newfound recognition of glycolysis' multifaceted nature and its importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis, beyond its traditional role in ATP synthesis.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
