Ribokinase, also known as RBKS, belongs to the pfkB family of carbohydrate kinases. It phosphorylates ribose to form ribose-5-phosphate in the presence of ATP and magnesium as a first step in ribose metabolism. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-322 from human RBKS, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli.
