G6Pstä
G6Pstä is a term that appears to be a misspelling or a non-standard abbreviation. The most likely intended term is G6P, which refers to glucose-6-phosphate. Glucose-6-phosphate is a crucial molecule in cellular metabolism. It is the first step in the breakdown of glucose, a process known as glycolysis, and is also involved in the pentose phosphate pathway and glycogen synthesis.
In glycolysis, glucose enters the cell and is phosphorylated by the enzyme hexokinase (or glucokinase in the
The pentose phosphate pathway utilizes glucose-6-phosphate to produce NADPH, a reducing agent important for biosynthesis and
Deficiencies in the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, which catalyzes a key step in the pentose phosphate pathway,
