| Function | Catalytic subunit of the tagatose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase KbaYZ, which catalyzes the reversible aldol condensation of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP or glycerone-phosphate) with glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) to produce tagatose 1,6- bisphosphate (TBP). Requires KbaZ subunit for full activity and stability. Is involved in the catabolism of N-acetylgalactosamine and D-galactosamine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10931310, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11976750}. |
