Pentose Phosphate Pathway Metabolism Service
Online Inquiryv-innovate Technologies, as a leading biotechnology company, provides reliable, rapid and cost-effective pentose phosphate pathway analysis service in animal. We leverage our experience, expertise, and technologies to accelerate your scientific research of pentose phosphate pathway metabolism analysis in animal.
Overview
The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is an alternative way of glucose use. It consists of the oxidative and the nonoxidative part (Figure 1). The oxidative part leads to ribulose-5-phosphate, carbon dioxide (CO2) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). One molecule of ribulose-5-phosphate and two molecules of NADPH are produced out of one molecule of glucose. Subsequently, the nonoxidative part is composed of a series of reversible reactions that recruit other glycolytic intermediates like fructose-6-phosphate (F6P) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) into pentose phosphates1. PPP is required for the synthesis of ribonucleotides and is a major source of NADPH2. Therefore, the PPP plays a pivotal role in combating oxidative stress. Abnormal PPP is associated with various diseases like diabetes and cancer. As a high-throughput tool, PPP metabolites analysis provides a powerful way to diagnosis and gain new insights in disease mechanism or treatment. With integrated array of separation, characterization, identification and quantification experience, v-innovate Technologies provides reliable, rapid and cost-effective PPP metabolites analysis service for your various scientific purposes.
