Specifications
Target Information
Rat Transketolase is a thiamine-dependent cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transfer of two-carbon ketol groups between sugar phosphates in the pentose phosphate pathway. It is highly expressed in liver, kidney, and brain, where it supplies NADPH for antioxidant defense and generates ribose-5-phosphate for nucleotide synthesis. Transketolase activity is sensitive to thiamine deficiency, leading to impaired energy metabolism and oxidative stress. As a key regulator of carbohydrate flux and cellular redox balance, transketolase is an important target for studies of metabolic disorders, thiamine metabolism, and cancer cell biology.
