TKT, also known as transketolase, is a thiamine-dependent enzyme which plays a role in the channeling of excess sugar phosphates to glycolysis in the pentose phosphate pathway. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-623 from human TKT, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli.
