definition
Protein involved in the pentose shunt, the biochemical pathway in which glucose-6-phosphate is oxidized to 6-phosphogluconate with the production of NADPH. Then 6-phosphogluconate is converted to ribulose- 5-phosphate and CO2 and a second molecule of NADH. This pathway is an important source of NADPH and ribose-5-phosphate.
