PRPS2 phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 2 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 5634)

Symbol: PRPS2

Full name: phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: PRSII

Summary: This gene encodes a phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase that plays a central role in the synthesis of purines and pyrimidines. The encoded protein catalyzes the synthesis of 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate from ATP and D-ribose 5-phosphate. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Expression: Broad expression in testis (RPKM 94.5), adrenal (RPKM 26.5) and 22 other tissues

Orthologs: mouse

Gene size: 32811bp

Exon count: 7
