Function
Catalyzes the phosphorylation of ribose at O-5 in a reaction requiring ATP and magnesium. The resulting D-ribose-5-phosphate can then be used either for sythesis of nucleotides, histidine, and tryptophan, or as a component of the pentose phosphate pathway.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm
Pathway: Carbohydrate metabolism; D-ribose degradation; D-ribose 5-phosphate from beta-D-ribopyranose: step 2/2
