{"symbol":"AASDHPPT","synonyms":["LYS5","LYS2","CGI-80","AASD-PPT","ACPS"],"name":"aminoadipate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase-phosphopantetheinyl transferase","description":"The protein encoded by this gene is similar to Saccharomyces cerevisiae LYS5, which is required for the activation of the alpha-aminoadipate dehydrogenase in the biosynthetic pathway of lysine. Yeast alpha-aminoadipate dehydrogenase converts alpha-biosynthetic-aminoadipate semialdehyde to alpha-aminoadipate. It has been suggested that defects in the human gene result in pipecolic acidemia.
