Glycine, serine and aspartate pathways. Synthesis of glycine and N5,N10-methylene tetrahydrofolate (N5,N10-CH2-THF) from glucose via the One-Carbon pathway. N5,N10-CH2-THF is further converted to N10-formyl-THF for incorporation into purine rings. Enzymes: 1: Hexokinase (HK); 2: 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH); 3: phosphoserine aminotransferase (PSAT); 4: phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH); 5: Serine Hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT).
