Answer

Transketolase is mainly participates in pentose pathway which also known as hexose monophospahte pathway. two importent products are formed in these reaction one is pentoses useful for synthesis of nucleic acids and NADPH useful for reductive biosynthesis of fatty acids and steriods. soo when five carbon aldolase binds first it wil give pentoses. final substrate is ribose 5 phosphate. when a six carbon ketose binds it wil give NADPH.
