Description
Recombinant Ribulose-phosphate 3-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.1) fragment (residues 2-228) from Homo sapiens, engineered for high solubility and stability to support structural and biochemical studies of this key metabolic enzyme.
Ribulose-phosphate 3-epimerase (RPE) catalyzes the reversible epimerization of D-ribulose 5-phosphate to D-xylulose 5-phosphate, a critical reaction in the pentose phosphate pathway essential for nucleotide synthesis and redox balance. This enzymatic function, supported by experimental evidence (PubMed:20923965), underscores its importance in cellular metabolism and potential relevance in metabolic disorder research.
