Gene information for AMPD1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID270
Official gene symbolAMPD1
Full nameadenosine monophosphate deaminase 1
Aliases,MAD,MADA,
Gene summaryAdenosine monophosphate deaminase 1 catalyzes the deamination of AMP to IMP in skeletal muscle and plays an important role in the purine nucleotide cycle. Two other genes have been identified, AMPD2 and AMPD3, for the liver- and erythocyte-specific isoforms, respectively. Deficiency of the muscle-specific enzyme is apparently a common cause of exercise-induced myopathy and probably the most common cause of metabolic myopathy in the human. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified in this gene.
