What Are The Two Main Functions Of The Pentose Phosphate Pathway? The pentose phosphate shunt pathway (Fig. 3.6) has two major roles: provision of NADPH that is utilized in biosynthetic reactions and oxidative defense, and generation of 5-carbon intermediates that are precursors for nucleic acids (Dringen et al., 2007). What is the main function of
