Fig. 5. Reaction of glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The secondary alcohol group is oxidized to the keto-group (shown in red) generating dihydroxyacetone phosphate, which is further converted by triose phosphate isomerase, a glycolytic enzyme, to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. The reduced FAD is reoxidized by membrane-associated CoQ and thus the electrons enter the mETC.
