Ribose 5-phosphate
Ribose 5-phosphate is both a product and an intermediate of the pentose phosphate pathway. The last step of the oxidative reactions in the pentose phosphate pathway is the production of ribulose-5-phosphate. Depending on the body's state, ribulose-5-phosphate can reversibly isomerize to...
