Pentose phosphate pathway
, Pentose phosphate pathway (PPP)
Also known as phosphogluconate pathway or hexose monophosphate shunt)
Serves as an alternative fate of glucose-6-phosphate
It is an alternative or parallel route for the metabolism of glucose in addition to glycolysis & glycogenesis.
It does NOT produce ATP, unlike glycolysis.
