     Context examples: 

    This protein is involved in glycolysis in as a cytoplasmic homodimer and has a secreted monomeric form that either exhibits cytokine activity or can function as a neurotrophic factor.

    (Glucose-6-Phosphate Isomerase, NCI Thesaurus)

    This protein plays a role in glycolysis.

    (Phosphoglycerate Kinase 1, NCI Thesaurus)

    This allele, which encodes gamma-enolase protein, is involved in glycolysis.

    (ENO2 wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)

    Intermediates in energy production pathways such as glycolysis and the Kreb's cycle are commonly the starting point for the biosynthesis of amino acids.

    (Biosynthesis of Glycine and Serine Pathway, NCI Thesaurus/BIOCARTA)

    This allele, which encodes pyruvate kinase isozymes M1/M2 protein, plays a role in the progression of glycolysis.

    (PKM2 wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)

    Glycolysis and the Krebs cycle are also closely linked to the energy needs of the cell.

    (Electron Transport Pathway, NCI Thesaurus/BIOCARTA)

    The cycle starts with acetyl-CoA, the activated form of acetate, derived from glycolysis and pyruvate oxidation of carbohydrates and from beta oxidation of fatty acids.

    (Citrate Cycle (TCA Cycle) Pathway, NCI Thesaurus/KEGG)

    Serine is derived from 3-phospho-D-glycerate, an intermediate of glycolysis, and glycine is derived from serine.

    (Glycine, Serine and Threonine Metabolism Pathway, NCI Thesaurus/KEGG)

    Glycolysis Induction involves initiation of activities of the pathway by which glucose is catabolized into two molecules of pyruvic acid with the generation of ATP.

    (Glycolysis Induction, NCI Thesaurus)

    Glycolysis Inhibition involves interference with, or restraint of, the activities of the pathway by which glucose is catabolized into two molecules of pyruvic acid with the generation of ATP.

    (Glycolysis Inhibition, NCI Thesaurus)
