Phosphopentose epimerase
text:
Phosphopentose epimerase encoded in humans by the RPE gene is a metalloprotein that catalyzes the interconversion between D-ribulose 5-phosphate and D-xylulose 5-phosphate.
- D-ribulose 5-phosphate ⇌ D-xylulose 5-phosphate This reversible conversion is required for carbon fixation in plants – through the Calvin cycle – and for the nonoxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway. This enzyme has also been implicated in additional pentose and glucuronate interconversions. In Cupriavidus met
