Pentose sugars are also an important part of animal metabolism, as seen with some intermediates of the hexose monophophate shunt, and the uronic acid pathway (see Chapters 28 29) Ribose is an important constituient of nucleotides and nucleic acids (see Chapters 13-17Chapter 13Chapter 14Chapter 15Chapter 16Chapter 17)

Pentose phosphate pathway The PPP is a multienzyme pathway that shares a common starting molecule with glycolysis, glucose-6-phosphate (Figure 2) The PPP gives rise to several critical products for cancer metabolism, including a pentose (5-carbon sugar), ribose-5-phosphate Ribose-5-phosphate is a precursor for the synthesis of nucleotides and nucleic acids Additionally, the nonoxidative

The Pentose Shunt An alternate pathway for oxidation of glucose in plants is the pentose shunt, or hexose monophosphate pathway Glucose-6-phosphate is oxidized to gluconate-6-phosphate and NADP is reduced to NADPH This is followed by another oxidation yielding the pentose sugar ribulose-5-bisphosphate, carbon dioxide, and another NADPH
- The dual role of the pentose phosphate pathway in homeostasis and . . .
The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) plays dual roles by balancing two key outputs—NADPH and ribose—supporting redox homeostasis and RNA synthesis In the naive state (“yin”), glucose is shunted from G6P into the PPP, with flux dominated by the oxidative PPP, where G6PD reduces NADP + to generate NADPH

The pentose-phosphoketolase (PPK) pathway (Figure 5) represents an offshoot of the oxidative branch of the PP pathway and is the favored glucose degradation pathway in heterolactic or heterofermentative lactic acid–producing bacteria, such as Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, or Leuconostoc species
