Product Description
Ribulose-5-Phosphate-3-Epimerase Human Recombinant
Overview
Ribulose-phosphate 3-epimerase (RPE) is a member of the ribulose-phosphate 3-epimerase family. RPE is the enzyme which converts D-ribulose 5-phosphate into D-xylulose 5-phosphate in Calvin's reductive pentose phosphate cycle. Therefore, the RPE enzyme has one substrate, D-ribulose 5-phosphate, and one product, D-xylulose 5-phosphate. RPE participates in three metabolic pathways: pentose phosphate pathway, pentose and glucuronate interconversions, and carbon fixation.
