Gluconeogenesis, or the formation of glucose from mainly lactatepyruvate, glycerol and alanine, plays an essential role in the maintenance of normoglycaemia during fasting.
The kidney can also carry out gluconeogenesis, although its contribution is much. Since the nonglucose precursors must be mobilized and transported to the liver, this source of glucose does not have the rapid response found with glycogen mobilization covered later in more detail. Gluconeogenesis is an anabolic pathway that synthesizes glucose from nonglucose precursors lactate, amino acids, and glycerol.

Inborn deficiencies are known of each of the four enzymes of the glycolytic gluconeogenic pathway that ensure a unidirectional flux from pyruvate to glucose. It occurs in all microorganisms, fungi, plants and animals, and the reactions are essentially the same, leading to the synthesis of one glucose molecule from two pyruvate molecules.
