EC 2.4 includes enzymes that transfer glycosyl groups, as well as those that transfer hexose and pentose.
42.
The last step of the oxidative reactions in the pentose phosphate pathway is the production of ribulose 5-phosphate.
43.
However, genes encoding for enzymes for the glycolytic pathway and the pentose phosphate pathway are present in its genome.
44.
In contrast, glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, and fatty acid biosynthesis all occur in the cytosol of a cell.
45.
The end result of the reaction essentially is the conversion of the pentose phosphates to intermediates used in the glycolytic pathway.
46.
Major metabolic pathways that occur in the cytosol in animals are protein biosynthesis, the pentose phosphate pathway, glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.
47.
For example, NADPH is regenerated through the pentose phosphate pathway and " S "-adenosylmethionine by methionine adenosyltransferase.
48.
It can also be prepared directly by thermal decomposition of pentose-containing materials, and cellulosic solids, especially pine wood.
49.
In mammals, transketolase connects the pentose phosphate pathway to glycolysis, feeding excess sugar phosphates into the main carbohydrate metabolic pathways.
50.
The resulting pentose-5-phosphate is cleaved into one mole glyceraldehyde phosphate ( GAP ) and one mole acetyl phosphate.
