| Research Abstract |
In pentose phosphate pathway, glucose 6-phosphate is converted to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate via glucono-1,5-lactone 6-phosphate and 6-phospho gluconate to produce NADPH and various hexose which is necessary for a synthesis of nucleic acid. It is known that alternative pathway from glucose to 6-phospho gluconate through gluconolactone and gluconate exists in bacteria. However, it remains unclear whether the alternative pathway exists in animals. In this study, we identified the gluconokinase gene which catalyzes a phosphorylation of gluconate to 6-phospho gluconate in human and mouse.
