phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase pseudogene 2

phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the purine/pyrimidine phosphoribosyltransferase family. It is a regulatory allosteric enzyme that catalyzes the first step of de novo purine nucleotide biosythetic pathway. This gene and PAICS/AIRC gene, a bifunctional enzyme catalyzing steps six and seven of this pathway, are located in close proximity on chromosome 4, and divergently transcribed from an intergenic region.

phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 2

This gene encodes a phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase that plays a central role in the synthesis of purines and pyrimidines. The encoded protein catalyzes the synthesis of 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate from ATP and D-ribose 5-phosphate. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 1

This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphoribosylation of ribose 5-phosphate to 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate, which is necessary for purine metabolism and nucleotide biosynthesis. Defects in this gene are a cause of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase superactivity, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease X-linked recessive type 5 and Arts Syndrome. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

phosphoribosyl transferase domain containing 1

Enables protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in purine ribonucleoside salvage. Predicted to be active in cytosol. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 1-like 1

This intronless gene is specifically expressed in the testis, and encodes a protein that is highly homologous to the two subunits of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase encoded by human X-linked genes, PRPS1 and PRPS2. These enzymes convert pyrimidine, purine or pyridine bases to the corresponding ribonucleoside monophosphates. In vitro transcription/translation and site-directed mutagenesis studies indicate that translation of this mRNA initiates exclusively at a non-AUG (ACG) codon. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase pseudogene 1

phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase-associated protein 1

Enables identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in 5-phosphoribose 1-diphosphate biosynthetic process and purine nucleotide biosynthetic process. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase-associated protein 2

This gene encodes a protein that associates with the enzyme phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase (PRS). PRS catalyzes the formation of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate which is a substrate for synthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, histidine, tryptophan and NAD. PRS exists as a complex with two catalytic subunits and two associated subunits. This gene encodes a non-catalytic associated subunit of PRS. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
