Pentose Phosphate Pathway

Presentations | English

The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), also known as the pentose phosphate shunt, is an important part of glucose metabolism. The PPP branches after the first step of glycolysis and consumes the intermediate glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) to generate fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) through the oxidative and non-oxidative branches of the PPP. For most organisms, the pentose phosphate pathway takes place in the cytosol; in plants, most steps take place in plastids. The presentation provides in-depth knowledge of the Pentose Phosphate Pathway.
