Gene information for PPAT (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5471
Official gene symbolPPAT
Full namephosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase
Aliases,ATASE,GPAT,PRAT,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the purine/pyrimidine phosphoribosyltransferase family. This protein is a regulatory allosteric enzyme that catalyzes the first step of de novo purine nucleotide biosynthesis. This gene and PAICS/AIRC, a bifunctional enzyme catalyzing steps six and seven in the purine nucleotide biosynthesis pathway, are located in close proximity on chromosome 4. [provided by RefSeq]
