Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase
What it does, reaction by reaction
Pentose Phosphate Pathway (Oxidative and Non-oxidative phases) Carbohydrate Metabolism · Cytosol
Ribulose-5-phosphate ↔ ribose-5-phosphate
Converts Ribulose-5-phosphate into Ribose-5-phosphate
› Notes
Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase reversibly converts the ketopentose to the aldopentose needed for phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate and nucleotide synthesis. No nucleotide cofactor is used.
