Anti-TKR/TKTL1 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

Transketolase-like protein 1 is an enzyme with a catalytic function that in humans is encoded by the TKTL1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a transketolase that acts as a homodimer and catalyzes the conversion of sedoheptulose 7-phosphate and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to D-ribose 5-phosphate and D-xylulose 5-phosphate. This reaction links the pentose phosphate pathway with the glycolytic pathway. Variations in this gene may be the cause of Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human TKR/TKTL1, which shares 68.2% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse TKTL1.
