Gene information for RPIA (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID22934
Official gene symbolRPIA
Full nameribose 5-phosphate isomerase A
Aliases,RPI,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme, which catalyzes the reversible conversion between ribose-5-phosphate and ribulose-5-phosphate in the pentose-phosphate pathway. This gene is highly conserved in most organisms. The enzyme plays an essential role in the carbohydrate metabolism. Mutations in this gene cause ribose 5-phosphate isomerase deficiency. A pseudogene is found on chromosome 18. [provided by RefSeq]
