Biochem/physiol Actions
Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) is a coenzyme of transketolase, that catalyzes the cleavage of ribulose-5-phosphate. This reaction leads to the formation of D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. It requires the addition of an acceptor aldehyde such as ribose-5-phosphate, glyceraldehye or glycolaldehyde. TPP is capable of decarboxylating hydroxypyruvate in the presence of an ′acceptor aldehyde′.[2]
