Pentose phosphate pathway in red blood cells

In the erythrocyte, glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway, and the metabolism of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (Chapter 28) are the predominant pathways of carbohydrate metabolism. Glycolysis supplies ATP for membrane ion pumps and NADH for reoxidation of methemoglobin. The pentose phosphate pathway supplies NADPH to [Pg.301]

Metabolism of glutathione. (1) y-Glutamylcysteine synthase (2) GSH synthase (3) glutathione peroxidase (Se-containing enzyme) 4. glutathione reductase (an FAD enzyme). [Pg.301]

Glutathione reductase also catalyzes reduction of mixed disulfides of glutathione and proteins (Pr)  [Pg.301]

GSH is used in the inactivation of potentially damaging organic peroxides (e.g., a peroxidized unsaturated fatty acid) and of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is formed through the action of superoxide dismutase (Chapter 14)  [Pg.301]
