Recombinant human RPE protein
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. Recombinant human RPE protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
