RPE (ribulose-phosphate 3-epimerase) belongs to the ribulose-phosphate 3-epimerase family. In enzymology, a ribulose-phosphate 3-epimerase is the enzyme that converts D-ribulose 5-phosphate into D-xylulose 5-phosphate in Calvin's reductive pentose phosphate cycle. Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, D-ribulose 5-phosphate, and one product, D-xylulose 5-phosphate. This enzyme participates in 3 metabolic pathways: pentose phosphate pathway, pentose and glucuronate interconversions, and carbon fixation.
Source:Recombinant corresponding to aa1-228 from human RPE, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, expressed in E.coli.
Molecular Weight:~27.5kD (252aa) confirmed by MALDI-TOF
Enzyme Activity:Not determined. This product is recommended for use in applications that do not require a catalytically active form of the protein.
