D-ribulose 5-phosphate





Description


Ribulose-5-phosphate (Ru5P) is a central intermediate of the pentose phosphate pathway that serves as a direct precursor for riboflavin and GTP biosynthesis, contributes to nucleotide, amino acid, and lipopolysaccharide synthesis, and represents a key metabolic node whose increased availability enhances riboflavin production [345].
