    basic FUNCTION
  • transaldolase, key enzyme of the pentose phosphate pathway
  • transfers a dihydroxyacetone group from donor compounds (fructose 6-phosphate or sedoheptulose 7-phosphate) to aldehyde acceptor compounds
  • rate-limiting enzyme involved in the pentose phosphate pathway, which is traditionally thought to occur in the cytoplasm
  • nucleocytoplasmic distribution of TALDO1, modulated via alternative translational initiation and dimer formation, plays an important role in a wide range of metabolic networks
