Transketolase (TK)

转酮酶

英文解释

Transketolase (TK) is a key enzyme in the pentose phosphate cycle and the photosynthesized reduced pentose phosphate cycle. Transketolase (TK) is important to maintain immune homeostasis and prevent autoimmunity in regulatory T (Treg) cells.

中文解释

转酮酶 (TK) 是磷酸戊糖循环和光合还原磷酸戊糖循环中的关键酶。转酮酶在调节性 T 细胞 (Treg) 中对维持免疫稳态和防止自身免疫有重要作用。
