Chemistry:6-Phosphogluconolactone
From HandWiki
6-Phosphogluconolactone is an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP).
In the PPP pathway, it is produced from glucose-6-phosphate by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.[1][2]
It is then converted to 6-Phosphogluconic acid by 6-phosphogluconolactonase.
