Abstract
Glucose-6-P occupies a strategic crossroad position in a variety of carbohydrate metabolic pathways. This hexosephosphate ester may serve as a substrate for glycogen synthesis (1), glycolysis (2), or oxidation through the pentose shunt. This ester may also undergo hydrolysis to form glucose (3). The last process is the terminal reaction in glucose synthesis from gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis and is catalyzed by glucose6-phosphatase.
