Metabolism of glucose through hexose monophosphate (HMP) shunt has two major fucntion (all rxns occur in cytoplasm)

1) production of NADPH as a reducing equivalent
2) synthesis of ribose-5 phosphate for nucleotide synthesis (non-oxidative)

Note: in erythrocytes, the HMP shunt is only major pathway that generates NADPH to maintain glutathione in a reduced form via glutathione reductase (protects from free radical damage)
