Accepted name:

6-deoxy-6-sulfo-D-fructose transketolase

Reaction:

(1) 6-deoxy-6-sulfo-D-fructose + D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate = D-xylulose-5-phosphate + 4-deoxy-4-sulfo-D-erythrose
(2) 4-deoxy-4-sulfo-D-erythrulose + D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate = D-xylulose-5-phosphate + sulfoacetaldehyde

Other name(s):

6-deoxy-6-sulfo-erythrulose transketolase; sqwGH (gene name)

Systematic name:

6-deoxy-6-sulfo-D-fructose:D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate glycolaldehydetransferase
