Cellular Energy Metabolism (Muscle Cell)
- Molecular classification
- Metabolic Pathway
01
Overview
Cellular energy metabolism in muscle cells encompasses the integrated biochemical processes that convert nutrients into usable chemical energy, primarily ATP, to support muscle contraction and maintain cellular homeostasis. This involves the phosphagen system, glycolysis, and oxidative phosphorylation, with glucose and fatty acids as major substrates. Key enzymes include creatine kinase and adenylate kinase, and AMPK acts as a master regulator. Dysregulation can lead to various diseases.
