2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate/2-dehydro-3-deoxy-phosphogluconate aldolase

UniProtKB accession:  Q6KZI8

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in the degradation of glucose via the Entner-Doudoroff pathway. Catalyzes the reversible cleavage of 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate (KDPG) and 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate (KDG) forming pyruvate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate or glyceraldehyde, respectively. It is also able to catalyze the reversible cleavage of 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogalactonate (KDPGal) and 2-keto-3-deoxygalactonate (KDGal). It is equally active with both D- and L-glyceraldehyde.
