Background
Transaldolase 1 is a key enzyme of the nonoxidative pentose phosphate pathway providing ribose-5-phosphate for nucleic acid synthesis and NADPH for lipid biosynthesis. This pathway can also maintain glutathione at a reduced state and thus protect sulfhydryl groups and cellular integrity from oxygen radicals. The functional gene of transaldolase 1 is located on chromosome 11 and a pseudogene is identified on chromosome 1 but there are conflicting map locations. The second and third exon of this gene were developed by insertion of a retrotransposable element. This gene is thought to be involved in multiple sclerosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
catalytic activity:Sedoheptulose 7-phosphate + D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate = D-erythrose 4-phosphate + D-fructose 6-phosphate.,disease:Defects in TALDO1 are the cause of transaldolase 1 deficiency (TALDO1 deficiency) [MIM:606003]. It results in telangiectases of the skin, hepatosplenomegaly, and enlarged clitoris.,function:Transaldolase is important for the balance of metabolites in the pentose-phosphate pathway.,pathway:Carbohydrate degradation; pentose phosphate pathway; D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and beta-D-fructose 6-phosphate from D-ribose 5-phosphate and D-xylulose 5-phosphate (non-oxidative stage): step 2/3.,similarity:Belongs to the transaldolase family.,similarity:Belongs to the transaldolase family. Type 1 subfamily.,
