The pentose phosphate pathway provides a number of critical functions including     ["production of ribose-5-phosphate", "production of NADH"]   that is vital for     ["synthesis of nucleotides and coenzymes", "oxidative phosphorylation"] .  

This pathway is divided into oxidative and non-oxidative steps.  The latter steps    ["are involved in the conversion of various sugar phopshates, so called  ["carbon shuffle reactions"", "are directly involved in NADPH production"] . 

 If   ["NADP+", "NAD+"]   levels are high, flux through the pentose phosphate pathway is promoted by allosteric regulation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.  If reducing equivalents derived form the pentose phosphate pathway are high, glucose-6-phosphate is directed toward   ["a phosphatase and then export from the cell", "glycolysis"]            .
