Rpe - ribulose-5-phosphate-3-epimerase

Predicted to enable several functions, including monosaccharide binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and ribulose-phosphate 3-epimerase activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular carbohydrate metabolic process; pentose catabolic process; and pentose-phosphate shunt, non-oxidative branch. Predicted to act upstream of or within carbohydrate metabolic process. Predicted to be located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and nose. Orthologous to several human genes including RPE (ribulose-5-phosphate-3-epimerase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
