epitope corresponding to amino acids 215-297 mapping within an internal region of TKTL1 of mouse origin
Modification Notes
Transketolase, a crucial component of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), functions as a link between glycolysis and the non-oxidative part of the PPP, allowing the cell to adapt to varying metabolic conditions in response to environmental changes. TKTL1 (transketolase-like 1), also known as TKR or TKT2, is a 596 amino acid protein that localizes to both the nucleus and the cytoplasm and belongs to the Transketolase family. Expressed in both adult and fetal lung, brain, liver, heart and kidney, TKTL1 exists as a homodimer that uses calcium and thiamine pyrophosphate as cofactors to catalyze the conversion of sedoheptulose 7-phosphate and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to D-ribose 5-phosphate and D-xylulose 5-phosphate. Overexpression of TKTL1, which exists as multiple alternatively spliced isoforms, is associated with diabetic complications and epithelial tumor growth and invasion. TKTL2 (transketolase-like 2) is a 626 amino acid member of the Transketolase family that, like TKTL1, is able to catalyze a specific phosphate transfer reaction.
