Product details
Background:
hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 (HPRT1) Homo sapiens The protein encoded by this gene is a transferase , which catalyzes conversion of hypoxanthine to inosine monophosphate and guanine to guanosine monophosphate via transfer of the 5-phosphoribosyl group from 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate. This enzyme plays a central role in the generation of purine nucleotides through the purine salvage pathway. Mutations in this gene result in Lesch-Nyhan syndrome or gout.[provided by RefSeq , Jun 2009] ,
