Gene information for PTS (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5805
Official gene symbolPTS
Full name6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase
Aliases,FLJ97081,PTPS,
Gene summaryThe enzyme encoded by this gene catalyzes the elimination of inorganic triphosphate from dihydroneopterin triphosphate, which is the second and irreversible step in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin from GTP. Tetrahydrobiopterin, also known as BH(4), is an essential cofactor and regulator of various enzyme activities, including enzymes involved in serotonin biosynthesis and NO synthase activity. Mutations in this gene result in hyperphenylalaninemia. [provided by RefSeq]
