Resource summary

Question	Answer
Role	Used by the body to recover Alanine and convert it into glucose for use
Source of Alanine	Produced by the muscles by aa breakdown
(1) Leucine Aminotransferase	Converts leucine to glutamate
(2) Alanine Aminotransferase	Pyruvate + Glutamate --> Alanine + Alphaketoglutarate
(3) Alanine Transferal	Alanine is moved by the blood to the liver
(4) Alanine in the liver	Alanine + Alphaketoglutarate (prod by other reactions) --> Glutamate (urea cycle) + Pyruvate
(5) Pyruvate in the liver	Converted to glucose, which is transported in the blood back to the muscle
(6) Glucose in the muscle	Converted to pyruvate, which is used to make alanine, and the cycle starts again
