Aldolase C
Aldolase C is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of carbohydrates. It is part of the aldolase family, which helps break down sugars into smaller molecules that the body can use for energy. Aldolase C is primarily found in the brain and is important for proper neurological function.
This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate into glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone phosphate, which are key intermediates in the glycolysis pathway. Abnormal levels of Aldolase C can be associated with certain neurological disorders, highlighting its significance in maintaining brain health.
