| EC Number | 2.2.1.1 |
| CAS Registry Number | 9014-48-6 |
| Comments | A thiamine-diphosphate protein. Wide specificity for both reactants, e.g. converts hydroxypyruvate and R-CHO into CO2 and R-CHOH-CO-CH2OH. The enzyme from the bacterium Alcaligenes faecalis shows high activity with D-erythrose 4-phosphate as acceptor. |
| Cofactor | thiamine diphosphate |
| History | |
| Reactions | Sedoheptulose 7-phosphate + D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate = D-ribose 5-phosphate + D-xylulose 5-phosphate. |
