Pronunciation: [pˈɛntə͡ʊz fˈɒsfe͡ɪt pˈaθwe͡ɪ] (IPA) 
The pentose phosphate pathway, also known as the phosphogluconate pathway or hexose monophosphate pathway, is a metabolic pathway that converts glucose-6-phosphate into ribose-5-phosphate and NADPH. NADPH is an important coenzyme in many biological processes, including oxidative stress defense, lipid synthesis, and nucleotide synthesis. The pathway also generates other sugars that can be used in various biosynthetic pathways. Apart from the synonyms already mentioned, the pathway is also known as the Warburg-Dickens-Horecker (WDH) pathway or the Lue-Lee pathway. The WDH pathway is named after the scientists who discovered it, while the Lue-Lee pathway is named after the two scientists who proposed a modified version of the pathway.
