D-ribose 5-phosphate（Cat No.:I015627） is a vital biochemical compound, serving as a crucial intermediate in several metabolic pathways, including the pentose phosphate pathway and nucleotide synthesis. As a derivative of ribose, a five-carbon sugar, it is phosphorylated at the fifth position. This modification enhances its role in biosynthesis, where it contributes to the formation of nucleic acids and coenzymes. D-ribose 5-phosphate is instrumental in cellular processes by providing the ribose sugar backbone essential for the synthesis of RNA and DNA, as well as for the regeneration of ATP, the cell’s primary energy currency.
