IDBG-648550 (TKTL2)

Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Plays an essential role in total transketolase activity and cell proliferation in cancer cells; after transfection with anti-TKTL1 siRNA, total transketolase activity dramatically decreases and proliferation was significantly inhibited in cancer cells. Plays a pivotal role in carcinogenesis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
