The reaction catalyzed by phosphoglucose isomerase includes additional steps because both glucose 6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate are present primarily in the cyclic forms.

Key concept map for gluconeogenesis
GlycolysisGlycolysis is the set of reactions that converts glucose into pyruvate. The 10 reactions of glycolysis take place in the cytosol. There is a net gain of two molecules of ATP in the formation of two molecules of pyruvate from one molecule of glucose.
The electron acceptor in the oxidation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is NAD, which must be regenerated for glycolysis to continue.
SummarySummary for Glycolysis and gluconeogenesis
Under physiologic conditions, the reactions of glycolysis are readily reversible except for the ones catalyzed by hexokinase, phosphofructokinase, and pyruvate kinase.
The glycolytic pathway has a dual role: it degrades glucose to generate ATP, and it provides building blocks for the synthesis of cellular components. The rate of conversion of glucose into pyruvate is regulated to meet these two major cellular needs.
GluconeogenesisGluconeogenesis is the synthesis of glucose from noncarbohydrate sources, such as lactate, amino acids, and glycerol.
Several of the reactions that convert pyruvate into glucose are common to glycolysis. Gluconeogenesis, however, requires four new reactions to bypass the essential irreversibility of three reactions in glycolysis.
The major raw materials for gluconeogenesis by the liver are lactate and alanine produced from pyruvate by active skeletal muscle. The formation of lactate during intense muscular activity buys time and shifts part of the metabolic burden from muscle to the liver.
