Function
Transaldolase (TAL) is part of the pentose phosphate pathway. It catalyzes the transformation of sedoheptulose 7-phosphate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to erythrose 4-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate[1].

Disease
TAL deficiency influences mitochondrial homeostasis, Ca+2 fluxing and apoptosis[2].
