-D-Glucose-6-Phosphate (G6P)

G6P is a phosphorylated form of glucose commonly found in cells. G6P is an intermediate in glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, the pentose phosphate pathway, the Calvin Cycle, glycogen biosynthesis, glycogen breakdown, and sugar interconversion. The latter three pathways indirectly involve G6P via the enzyme phosphoglucomutase.

Enzymes whose activity includes G6P:

Glucokinase

Hexokinase

Phosphoglucoisomerase

Phosphoglucomutase

Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase
