Chapter 20, Problem 25P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The enzyme which is the regulatory enzyme in the oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The metabolic pathway that is parallel to the process of glycolysis is known as pentose phosphate pathway. This pathway produces NADPH, pentoses and ribose 5 phosphate. This pathway takes place mostly in Red blood cells.
