d-glucose 6-phosphate

d-·glu·cose 6-phos·phate

(glū'kōs fos'fāt),

A key intermediate in processes such as glycolysis, glycogenolysis, and pentose phosphate shunt; elevated levels inhibit brain hexokinase and glycolysis.

Synonym(s): Robison ester, Robison-Embden ester

Sugar phosphates, such as d-glucose 6-phosphate (glu6P), [3] play a role as intermediary metabolites in several metabolic pathways, including glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP).

The basic idea of using GALT to assess Gal-1-P in erythrocytes was extended to measuring the product of the reaction, [alpha]-D-glucose 1-phosphate (Glu-1-P), after enzymatic conversion to D-glucose 6-phosphate (Glu-6-P) and treatment with Glu-6-P dehydrogenase to form NADH, which was measured fluorometrically (8), or by determining the radioisotope content of the Glu-1-P when [sup.
