what are the steps of gluconeogenesis?
Steps in Gluconeogenesis Pyruvate carboxylase converts pyruvate to oxaloacetate in the mitochondrion. Oxaloacetate is converted to malate or aspartate, which travels to the cytosol and is reconverted to oxaloacetate. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase converts oxaloacetate to phosphoenolpyruvate.
