Abstract

“Dead-end” metabolites in the metabolic reaction network do not have known metabolic functions. In this article, Gao et al. report that γ-6PGL, a byproduct of the oxiPPP, contributes to the Src-PP2A-AMPK signaling pathway by binding to Src and consequently enhancing PP2A recruitment, suggesting that “dead-end” metabolites may function as signaling molecules.
