The function of ENSG00000136872 (ALDOB, aldolase, fructose-bisphosphate B) is as follows. Catalyzes the aldol cleavage of fructose 1,6-biphosphate to form two triosephosphates dihydroxyacetone phosphate and D- glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate in glycolysis as well as the reverse stereospecific aldol addition reaction in gluconeogenesis. In fructolysis, metabolizes fructose 1-phosphate derived from the phosphorylation of dietary fructose by fructokinase into dihydroxyacetone phosphate and D-glyceraldehyde (PubMed:10970798, PubMed:12205126, PubMed:20848650). Acts as an adapter independently of its enzymatic activity, exerts a tumor suppressor role by stabilizing the ternary complex with G6PD and TP53 to inhibit G6PD activity and keep oxidative pentose phosphate metabolism in check (PubMed:35122041). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10970798, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12205126, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20848650, ECO:0000269|PubMed:35122041}.
