Function

Transaldolase (TAL) is part of the pentose phosphate pathway. It catalyzes the transformation of sedoheptulose 7-phosphate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to erythrose 4-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate^[1].

Disease

TAL deficiency influences mitochondrial homeostasis, Ca+2 fluxing and apoptosis^[2].

Structural highlights

TAL overall structure is of a TIM barrel. The active site contains a Schiff-base-bound phosphosugar at Lys135^[3].
