Sedoheptulose 7-phosphate is an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway. It is formed by transketolase and acted upon by

transaldolase Transaldolase is an enzyme () of the non-oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway. In humans, transaldolase is encoded by the ''TALDO1'' gene. The following chemical reaction is catalyzed by transaldolase: : sedoheptulose 7-phospha ...
