For ten points, identify this metabolic pathway that produces energy from phosphoralated five-carbon sugar and is sometimes known as a shunt.
An X-linked genetic disease inhibits this pathway by causing a deficiency of its initiating dehydrogenaze. This series of reactions is initiated by lactonase and two dehydrogenazes, and an intermediate step produces parallel xylulose and ribose derivatives, which are the terminus of its oxidative phase. This multi-step pathway is defined as having end products glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate, which are synthesized by transalodases. For ten points, identify this metabolic pathway that produces energy from phosphoralated five-carbon sugar and is sometimes known as a shunt.
