Adenine Phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) (AA 1-180) protein
Description
APRT is part of the purine/pyrimidine phosphoribosyltransferase family. APRT enzyme catalyzes the formation of AMP and inorganic pyrophosphate from adenine and 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP). APRT produces adenine as a by-product of the polyamine biosynthesis pathway. A homozygous deficiency in APRT causes 2,8-dihydroxyadenine urolithiasis. APRT catalyzes a salvage reaction resulting in the formation of AMP Synonyms: EC 2.4.2.73, MGC125857, AMP diphosphorylase, Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase, APRT, AMP, MGC125856, MGC129961, DKFZp686D13177
