vía pentosafosfato
Scope note: Proceso de descarboxilación oxidativa que convierte la GLUCOSA-6-FOSFATO en D-ribosa-5-fosfato a través del 6-fosfogluconato. La pentosa que se produce se utiliza en la biosíntesis de ÁCIDOS NUCLEICOS. La energía que se genera se almacena en forma de NADPH. Esta vía destaca en tejidos que son activos en la síntesis de ÁCIDOS GRASOS y ESTEROIDES.

Scope note: 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.
