    • Depending on the body's state, ribulose-5-phosphate can reversibly isomerize to ribose-5-phosphate.
    • Ribulose-5-phosphate can alternatively undergo a series of isomerizations as well as transaldolations and transketolations that result in the production of other pentose phosphates including fructose-6-phosphate, erythrose-4-phosphate, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (both intermediates in glycolysis).
