TKTL2, Transketolase like 2, Transketolase-like protein 2.
TKTL2 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.
