QuickView for rbsK (gene)
- Gene Symbol:
- RBKS
Homo sapiens - Full name:
- ribokinase
- Synonyms:
- RBSK, RK, ribokinase
- Genomic Location:
- Chr 2: 27857770-27966727
- Description:
-
This gene encodes a member of the carbohydrate kinase PfkB family. The encoded protein phosphorylates ribose to form ribose-5-phosphate in the presence of ATP and magnesium as a first step in ribose metabolism. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
