Deoxyribose-phosphate aldolase (DERA)

Catalyzes a reversible aldol reaction between acetaldehyde and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to generate 2-deoxy- D-ribose 5-phosphate. Participates in stress granule (SG) assembly.

May allow ATP production from extracellular deoxyinosine in conditions of energy deprivation. .
