What is Pentose Phosphate Pathway about?
The Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PPP) is a cytosolic metabolic pathway that generates NADPH and ribose-5-phosphate, operating parallel to glycolysis without producing ATP. It is essential for fatty acid and nucleotide synthesis, detoxification, and antioxidant defense. The pathway consists of an oxidative phase that is irreversible and produces NADPH, and a non-oxidative phase that is reversible and interconverts sugars.
