Entrez ID 64080
Gene name Ribokinase
Gene symbol RBKS
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
RBSKRK
Chromosome 2
Chromosome location 2p23.2
Summary 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 tra

Protein name Ribokinase (RK) (EC 2.7.1.15)
Protein function Catalyzes the phosphorylation of ribose at O-5 in a reaction requiring ATP and magnesium. The resulting D-ribose-5-phosphate can then be used either for sythesis of nucleotides, histidine, and tryptophan, or as a component of the pentose phospha
