RBKS protein plays a central role in cellular metabolism by catalyzing the phosphorylation of ribose at the O-5 site, a process that is dependent on ATP and magnesium. This enzymatic activity leads to the formation of D-ribose-5-phosphate, a versatile precursor that can be used in various biosynthetic pathways. RBKS Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived RBKS protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag.

The RBKS protein plays a vital role in cellular metabolism by catalyzing the phosphorylation of ribose at O-5, a reaction that requires ATP and magnesium. This enzymatic activity leads to the formation of D-ribose-5-phosphate, a crucial intermediate that can be utilized for the synthesis of nucleotides, including purines and pyrimidines, as well as histidine and tryptophan. Additionally, D-ribose-5-phosphate serves as a key component in the pentose phosphate pathway, contributing to the generation of reducing equivalents and nucleotide precursors. The versatility of RBKS in directing ribose-5-phosphate towards various biosynthetic pathways underscores its importance in coordinating cellular processes essential for nucleotide and energy metabolism.
