22 - Pentose Phosphate Flashcards
glucose 6 phosphatase turns blank into blank
g6p, glucose
nadh is converted back and forth to nadph by blank
transhydrogenase
nadph is involved in blank metabolism as a blank
reductive, electron donor
nadph is involved in cellular defense as blank in the etc
anti oxidative
nadph is also important as a blank agent to prevent infections
antimicrobial
6 carbon becomes 5 carbon in this pathway
pentose phosphate pathway
most important enzyme in pentose phosphate
glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)
glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) facilitates the production of blank
nadph
g6pd deficiency is mostly in blank because it is carried on the blank chromosome
men, x
second most common enzyme deficiency
pyruvate kinase defect
three parts of pentose phosphate pathway
oxidative, hydrolytic, oxidative decarboxylation
ketose always blank carbons
lose
aldose always blank carbons
gains
only liver and kidney have this enzyme
glucose 6 phosphate
