Description

6-Phosphogluconic acid (6-PGA) is an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway, a metabolic route that produces NADPH and pentoses. It is synthesized from glucose-6-phosphate through the action of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. 6-PGA is then decarboxylated by 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase to yield ribulose-5-phosphate. The pentose phosphate pathway is essential for the production of NADPH, which is required for reductive biosynthesis reactions, such as fatty acid synthesis and detoxification of reactive oxygen species. The pentose phosphate pathway also provides precursors for nucleotide biosynthesis. 6-PGA is studied extensively in the context of metabolic disorders, such as diabetes and cancer. It is also a potential target for drug development, as its metabolism can be disrupted by certain medications. 6-PGA is an important metabolite in many biological processes and its study contributes to our understanding of cellular metabolism and disease.'
