Summary: This gene encodes an enzyme that binds magnesium and thiamine pyrophosphate and catalyzes the transfer of sugar phosphates to an aldose acceptor. This enzyme is a key component of the pentose phosphate pathway during glycolysis. It is significantly expressed in the cornea and may be involved in the cellular response against oxidative stress. Haploinsufficiency of this gene leads to decreased growth and reduction of adipose tissue. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
