This gene encodes a thiamine-dependent enzyme which plays a role in the channeling of excess sugar phosphates to glycolysis in the pentose phosphate pathway. Alteatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

Description
Transketolase is a key pentose phosphate shunt enzyme that plays an important role in the production of reducing equivalents and pentose sugars. Decreased activity of transketolase has been found in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and thiamine deficiency. In addition, as an important biocatalyst in stereo-specific carbon-carbon bond synthesis, transketolase has been widely used in industry to produce aromatic products.
