Pentose Phosphate Pathway

Pentosfosfatbana

Svensk definition

Oxidativ dekarboxylering då glukos-6-fosfat omvandlas till D-ribos-5-fosfat via 6-fosfoglukonat. Pentosprodukten ingår i biosyntesen av nukleinsyror. Energi som genereras sparas som NADPH. Processen är markant i vävnader där fettsyror och steroider syntetiseras.

Engelsk definition

An oxidative decarboxylation process that converts GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATE to D-ribose-5-phosphate via 6-phosphogluconate. The pentose product is used in the biosynthesis of NUCLEIC ACIDS. The generated energy is stored in the form of NADPH. This pathway is prominent in tissues which are active in the synthesis of FATTY ACIDS and STEROIDS.
