Enables monosaccharide binding activity and transaldolase activity. Involved in fructose 6-phosphate metabolic process; glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate metabolic process; and pentose-phosphate shunt, non-oxidative branch. Located in cytosol and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in carbohydrate metabolic disorder. Orthologous to human TALDO1 (transaldolase 1).
