Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: N/A
- UniProt Summary: 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. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03215, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17585908}.
