| Name: | glycolytic process |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | anaerobic glycolysis, Embden-Meyerhof pathway, Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway, glycolysis, modified Embden-Meyerhof pathway |
| Definition: | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of a carbohydrate into pyruvate, with the concomitant production of a small amount of ATP and the reduction of NAD(P) to NAD(P)H. Glycolysis begins with the metabolism of a carbohydrate to generate products that can enter the pathway and ends with the production of pyruvate. Pyruvate may be converted to acetyl-coenzyme A, ethanol, lactate, or other small molecules. |
