FAMILY

class II fructose-bisphosphate aldolase family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as GATY_KLEP7, gatY. Catalytic subunit of the tagatose-1, 6-bisphosphate aldolase GatYZ, which catalyzes the reversible aldol condensation of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP or glycerone-phosphate) with glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) to produce tagatose 1, 6-bisphosphate (TBP). Requires GatZ subunit for full activity and stability. Is involved in the catabolism of galactitol. Forms a complex with GatZ.
