SYNONYMS
Transketolase, TK, TKT1, EC 2.2.1.1.
INTRODUCTION
TKT is a thiamine-dependent enzyme that takes part in the channeling of leftover sugar phosphates to glycolysis in the pentose phosphate pathway. Multiple alternatively spliced variants are known that encode the same protein.
DESCRIPTION
TKT Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 643 amino acids (1-623) and having a molecular mass of 70.0kDa.
TKT is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
