gene: rpia-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable ribose-5-phosphate isomerase activity. Predicted to be involved in D-ribose metabolic process and pentose-phosphate shunt, non-oxidative branch. Expressed in head neurons; intestine; nerve ring; and tail neurons. Is an ortholog of human RPIA (ribose 5-phosphate isomerase A).
