1) Only reversable
Glucose-6-Phosphate is first converted to glucose-1-phosphate
Enzyme: Phosphoglucomutase
2)
Glucose-1-phosphate is further activated by reacting with UTP to yield UDP-glucose and pyrophosphate
Enzyme: UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase
PPi is released during this reaction
PPi → 2 Pi
Enzyme: Inorganic pyrophosphatase
Glucose-6-phosphate
Glucose-1-phosphate
Glucose-1-phosphate + UTP
UDP-Glucose
Hydrolysis of pyrophosphate is…
very exergonic and drives the reaction
