PPP, pentose phosphate pathway: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is a metabolic pathway that generates NADPH and pentoses from glucose-6-phosphate. In cancer, the PPP is often upregulated to support the increased demand for NADPH, which is necessary for fatty acid synthesis, antioxidant defenses, and maintaining the balance of redox reactions.

High expression of PPP enzymes is often associated with poor prognosis in various cancers, including breast, lung, colorectal, prostate, pancreatic, and ovarian cancer.
