Gene information for PPCDC (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID60490
Official gene symbolPPCDC
Full namephosphopantothenoylcysteine decarboxylase
Aliases,FLJ14585,MDS018,
Gene summaryBiosynthesis of coenzyme A (CoA) from pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is an essential universal pathway in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. PPCDC (EC 4.1.1.36), one of the last enzymes in this pathway, converts phosphopantothenoylcysteine to 4-prime-phosphopantetheine (Daugherty et al., 2002 [PubMed 11923312]).[supplied by OMIM]
