TKT
Catalyzes the transfer of a two-carbon ketol group from a ketose donor to an aldose acceptor, via a covalent intermediate with the cofactor thiamine pyrophosphate. Belongs to the transketolase family. 2 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
