Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PPP)

The pentose phosphate pathway generates NADPH and pentoses. It has oxidative and non-oxidative phases.

Processes before Ribulose 5-phosphate are oxidative, and processes after, starting with Ribulose 5-phosphate, are non-oxidative.

Boxes not surrounded by yellow are enzymes (except glycolysis) (enzymes end in "-ase").

Left of the arrow "->" are additional substrates, and right of the arrow "->" are additional products.
