Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020•frontiersin.orgThe pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) branches from glucose 6-phosphate (G6P),
produces NADPH and ribose 5-phosphate (R5P), and shunts carbons back to the glycolytic
or gluconeogenic pathway. The PPP has been demonstrated to be a major regulator for
cellular reduction-oxidation (redox) homeostasis and biosynthesis. Enzymes in the PPP are
reported to play important roles in many human diseases. In this review, we will discuss the
role of the PPP in type 2 diabetes and cancer.
