Gene information for PRPS1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5631
Official gene symbolPRPS1
Full namephosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 1
Aliases,ARTS,CMTX5,DFN2,DFNX1,KIAA0967,PPRibP,PRSI,
Gene summaryThis 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. [provided by RefSeq]
