Gene information for PANK4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID55229
Official gene symbolPANK4
Full namepantothenate kinase 4
Aliases,DKFZp547M242,FLJ10782,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein belonging to the pantothenate kinase family. Pantothenate kinase is a key regulatory enzyme in the biosynthesis of coenzyme A (CoA) in bacteria and mammalian cells. It catalyzes the first committed step in the universal biosynthetic pathway leading to CoA and is itself subject to regulation through feedback inhibition by CoA. This family member is most abundant in muscle but is expressed in all tissues. [provided by RefSeq]
