Transketolase-like 2 (TKTL2) also known as TKL2 is an enzyme involved in carbohydrate metabolism. Its molecular weight is approximately 70 kDa. TKTL2 expression occurs broadly in human tissues with reported high expression levels in the heart brain and liver. The enzyme plays an important role in the non-oxidative part of the pentose phosphate pathway where it influences the interconversion of sugar phosphates.
Biological function summary
TKTL2 contributes to cellular processes related to energy metabolism and biosynthesis. It forms a functional relationship with other proteins in metabolic pathways participating in the regulation of cellular redox balance and nucleotide biosynthesis. This enzyme supports cellular functions by contributing to the generation of ribose-5-phosphate a precursor for nucleotide synthesis and NADPH essential for anabolic reactions and antioxidative defenses.
Pathways
TKTL2 significantly participates in the pentose phosphate pathway and is implicated in glycolysis connecting to numerous other enzymes like glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Its activity affects the levels of critical metabolites within these pathways thereby influencing cell survival and proliferation. The interaction of TKTL2 with these pathways highlights its role in regulating cellular metabolic flux impacting processes such as ribonucleotide synthesis and redox homeostasis.
TKTL2 has been associated with cancer particularly in tumor progression and metastasis. Aberrant expression of TKTL2 correlates with altered metabolic states within cancer cells linking it to enhanced tumor growth. It is also suggested that TKTL2 might relate to neurodegenerative conditions where its expression aligns with neuronal metabolic demands and oxidative stress resistance. Research also connects TKTL2 with proteins like lactate dehydrogenase in the context of cancer metabolism illustrating the enzyme's relevance in disease states.
