What it does, reaction by reaction

1 reactions

Pentose Phosphate Pathway (Oxidative and Non-oxidative phases) Carbohydrate Metabolism · Cytosol

step 4 Reversible

Ribulose-5-phosphate ↔ ribose-5-phosphate

Converts Ribulose-5-phosphate into Ribose-5-phosphate

› Notes

Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase reversibly converts the ketopentose to the aldopentose needed for phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate and nucleotide synthesis. No nucleotide cofactor is used.
