Catabolism

Catabolism of proteinogenic amino acids. Amino acids can be classified according to the properties of their main degradation products:
* Glucogenic, with the products having the ability to form glucose by gluconeogenesis
* Ketogenic, with the products not having the ability to form glucose. These products may still be used for ketogenesis or lipid synthesis.
* Amino acids catabolized into both glucogenic and ketogenic products.
