Correct answer: A. Transketolase
- A. Transketolase
- B. 6 phosphogluconate dehydrogenase
- C. G6 PD
- D. Transaldolase
Explanation
Transketolase transfers a two-carbon unit in the HMP shunt and requires thiamine pyrophosphate, the active coenzyme form of vitamin B1. The dehydrogenases instead use NADP+ as their electron acceptor.
