step 4
Irreversible/directional
L-Gulonate -> 3-keto-L-gulonate -> L-xylulose -> xylitol -> D-xylulose -> xylulose-5-phosphate
Converts L-Gulonate into 3-Keto-L-gulonate
› Notes
Feeds into the non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway. Deficiency of L-xylulose reductase causes essential pentosuria (benign).
