RpiA, Recombinant, E. coli, aa1-219, GST-Tag (Ribose-5-phosphate Isomerase A)

Involved in the first step of the non-oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway. It catalyzes the reversible conversion of ribose-5-phosphate to ribulose 5-phosphate. Can also act on D-ribose-5-diphosphate and D-ribose-5-triphosphate as substrate. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-219 from E. coli rpiA, fused to GST-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
