1. Their catalysts enable them to assimilate both pentose and hexose sugars. 2. It is a metabolic enzyme involved in the pentose phosphate pathway. 3. It is a castalagin glycoside by binding of the pentose lyxose. 4. This enzyme has also been implicated in additional pentose and glucuronate interconversions. 5. Alimentary pentosuria can be acquired through fruits high in pentose . 6. This enzyme participates in pentose phosphate pathway and glutathione metabolism. 7. This enzyme participates in pentose phosphate pathway and pentose and glucuronate interconversions. 8. This enzyme participates in pentose phosphate pathway and pentose and glucuronate interconversions. 9. The remaining fraction of glucose is shunted primarily down the pentose phosphate pathway. 10. Ribulose sugars are composed in the pentose phosphate pathway.
