Gene information for MTAP (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4507
Official gene symbolMTAP
Full namemethylthioadenosine phosphorylase
Aliases,MSAP,c86fus,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an enzyme that plays a major role in polyamine metabolism and is important for the salvage of both adenine and methionine. The encoded enzyme is deficient in many cancers because this gene and the tumor suppressor p16 gene are co-deleted. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene, but their full-length natures remain unknown. [provided by RefSeq]
