HYPOXANTHINE PHOSPHORIBOSYLTRANSFERASE

Specialty Definition: HYPOXANTHINE PHOSPHORIBOSYLTRANSFERASE

DomainDefinition

Health

An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate and hypoxanthine, guanine, or 6-mercaptopurine to the corresponding 5'-mononucleotides and pyrophosphate. The enzyme is important in purine biosynthesis as well as central nervous system functions. Complete lack of enzyme activity is associated with the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, while partial deficiency results in overproduction of uric acid. EC 2.4.2.8. (references)
