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).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
