Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a L-ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase (Template:EnzExplorer) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

L-ribulose 5-phosphate L-xylulose 5-phosphate

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, L-ribulose 5-phosphate, and one product, L-xylulose 5-phosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those racemases and epimerases acting on carbohydrates and derivatives. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase. Other names in common use include L-xylulose 5-phosphate 3-epimerase, UlaE, and SgaU. This enzyme participates in ascorbate and aldarate metabolism.
