'The pentose phosphate pathway' -- subject(s): Pentose phosphate pathway

pentose phosphate pathway (also called phosphogluconate pathway, or hexose monophosphate shunt [HMP shunt])

End product of Pentose Phosphate Pathway is NADPH and ribose-5-phosphate

NADPH: for biosynthesis of lipid

ribose-5-phosphate: building block for nucleic acid synthesis

pentose phosphate pathway, glycogenesis, and glycolysis
