HMP
PATHWAY
, HEXOSE MONOPHOSPHATE PATHWAY
• Also called phosphogluconate pathway or Hexose Monophosphate Shunt.
• An alternative pathway of glucose oxidation ( glycolysis ) ,so it is known as
shunt pathway.
• It is concerned with the biosynthesis of NADPH &Pentose phosphate.
• 10% of glucose entering in this pathway /day.
• The liver & RBC metabolise about 30% of glucose by this pathway.
