What is Pentose Phosphate Pathway Overview about?
1. The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) occurs in the cytosol and has three main aims: produce pentoses like ribose-5-phosphate for nucleic acid synthesis, produce the reducing agent NADPH, and convert pentoses to trioses and hexoses for glycolysis. 2. The PPP has an oxidative phase and a non-oxidative phase. The oxidative phase is irreversible and produces NADPH and pentoses. The non-oxidative phase reversibly converts pentoses to glycolysis intermediates. 3. The main regulator of the PPP is the NADP+/N
