Identification
Name:L-Xylulose 5-phosphate
Description)Xylulose 5-phosphate (Xu-5-P) is a metabolite of the hexose monophosphate pathway that activates protein phosphatase 2A to mediate the acute effects of carbohydrate feeding on the glycolytic pathway, as well as the coordinate long-term control of the enzymes required for fatty acid and triglyceride synthesis. Xu-5-P is the signal for the coordinated control of lipogenesis. Feeding carbohydrate causes levels of glucose, Glucose-6-phosphate (Glc-6-P), and Fructose-6-phosphate (Fru-6-P) to rise. Elevation of Fru-6-P leads to elevation of Xu-5-P in reactions catalyzed by the near-equilibrium isomerases of the nonoxidative portion of the hexose monophosphate pathway (ribulose 5-phosphate (Ru5P) epimerase [EC 5.1.3.1], ribose 5-phosphate (Rib5P) isomerase [EC 5.3.1.6], transaldolase [EC 2.2.1.2], and transketolase [EC 2.2.1.1]). The elevation of Xu-5-P is the coordinating signal that both acutely activates phosphofructokinase [PFK
