6-Phosphoglucono-δ-lactone

6-Phosphoglucono-δ-lactone (6-PGδL) is a reversal substrate of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). 6-Phosphoglucono-δ-lactone is an intermediate compound in the oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). 6-Phosphoglucono-δ-lactone produced from D-glucose-6-phosphate by glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and is converted to 6-phosphoglutonate by lactonase. 6-Phosphoglucono-δ-lactone can be used for heart failure, type 2 diabetes and cancers research.
