2-Keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate
2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate is an endogenous metabolite found in Escherichia coli, and a key intermediate in the Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway, as well as in the degradation pathways of sugar acids and sugar polymers in human and plant pathogens. It is produced by the catalytic action of KDPG aldolase.
