Name

glycolysis

Ontology or CV name

GO biological process

Definition

The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of D-glucose into pyruvate, with the concomitant production of a small amount of ATP and reduced electron carriers, usually NADH. The pathway proceeds via phosphorylated hexose intermediates that are cleaved into two triose units, one of which is glycerone phosphate (dihydroxyacetone phosphate).
