ID   1.1.1.351
DE   Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (NAD(P)(+)-dependent, decarboxylating).
CA   6-phospho-D-gluconate + NAD(P)(+) = D-ribulose 5-phosphate + CO(2) +
CA   NAD(P)H.
CC   -!- The enzyme participates in the oxidative branch of the pentose
CC       phosphate pathway, whose main purpose is to produce reducing power
CC       and pentose for biosynthetic reactions.
CC   -!- Unlike EC 1.1.1.44, it is not specific for NADP(+) and can accept
CC       both cofactors with similar efficiency.
CC   -!- Cf. EC 1.1.1.343.
