Pyruvic acid (→) Transport: Caenorhabditis elegans, Cell, Cytosol to Caenorhabditis elegans, Cell, Mitochondrial Matrix
Adenosine triphosphate + Hydrogen carbonate + Pyruvic acid → Adenosine diphosphate + Oxalacetic acid + Phosphate
Adenosine triphosphate + L-Alanine + tRNA(Ala) → Adenosine monophosphate + L-Alanyl-tRNA(Ala) + Pyrophosphate
L-Alanine + Oxoglutaric acid ↔ L-Glutamic acid + Pyruvic acid
Glyoxylic acid + L-Alanine ↔ Glycine + Pyruvic acid
