Disease relevance of XYLB

Homology analysis indicated that the predicted gene product, XYLB, bore 22% identity to the xylulokinase of Haemophilus influenzae that plays an important role in energy metabolism [1].

High impact information on XYLB

Uptake of deoxysugars (FUC/Rha), however, was repressed by substrates metabolized via gluco-, galacto-, glycero-, or hexokinase, whereas substrates phosphorylated by xylulokinase had no effect [2].
It expressed high levels of both xylose isomerase and xylulokinase on xylose and also on glucose [3].
Genomic structure of a novel human gene (XYLB) on chromosome 3p22-->p21.3 encoding a xylulokinase-like protein [1].
