Description
Transketolase; catalyzes conversion of xylulose-5-phosphate and ribose-5-phosphate to sedoheptulose-7-phosphate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate in the pentose phosphate pathway; needed for synthesis of aromatic amino acids; TKL1 has a paralog, TKL2, that arose from the whole genome duplication [Source:SGD;Acc:S000006278]
Location
Chromosome XVI: 692,796-694,838 reverse strand.
R64-1-1:BK006949.2
