Description

AI-generatedUnreviewed
The protein family includes components of the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex, which are responsible for the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and CO2, a critical step in cellular respiration. Some family members also exhibit reductase activity with pyruvate. Additionally, the family encompasses transketolase-related proteins involved in various metabolic pathways, including the sulfo-TK pathway and the catabolism of D-apiose. These enzymes facilitate the transfer of glycolaldehyde groups between different sugar phosphates, playing a vital role in carbohydrate metabolism.
