Upon entering hepatocytes, fructose is phosphorylated by KHK to F1P. F1P is cleaved to DHAP and glyceraldehyde by ALDOB. Glyceraldehyde is phosphorylated by triose-kinase (TKFC, also known as dihydroxyacetone kinase 2 or DAK) to form the glycolytic intermediate glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GA3P). Both fructose-derived DHAP and GA3P enter the glycolytic/gluconeogenic metabolite pool at the triose-phosphate level, and these metabolites have numerous metabolic fates. F1P also allosterically regulates metabolic enzymes (red and green lines) to regulate the disposition of fructose-derived substrate and other metabolic products like uric acid. AMPD3, adenosine deaminase; GA, glyceraldehyde; IMP, inosine monophosphate; MTTP, microsomal triglyceride transfer protein; PYGL, glycogen phosphorylase L; GYS2, glycogen synthase 2; PKLR, pyruvate kinase, liver and red blood cell; PEP, phosphoenolpyruvate; TAG, triacylglycerol.
