Gene information for PPCS (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID79717
Official gene symbolPPCS
Full namephosphopantothenoylcysteine synthetase
Aliases,FLJ11838,MGC117357,MGC138220,
Gene summaryBiosynthesis of coenzyme A (CoA) from pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is an essential universal pathway in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. PPCS (EC 6.3.2.5), one of the last enzymes in this pathway, converts phosphopantothenate to phosphopantothenoylcysteine (Daugherty et al., 2002 [PubMed 11923312]).[supplied by OMIM]
