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 during glycolysis, a process that converts glucose into energy. Aldolase C is primarily found in the brain and is important for proper neuronal function. This enzyme specifically catalyzes the reversible reaction that converts fructose-1,6-bisphosphate into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. Its activity is essential for maintaining energy levels in brain cells, and any dysfunction can lead to metabolic disorders or neurological issues.
