PRPSAP2 phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase associated protein 2 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 5636)
Symbol: PRPSAP2
Full name: phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase associated protein 2
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: PAP41
Summary: This gene encodes a protein that associates with the enzyme phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase (PRS). PRS catalyzes the formation of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate which is a substrate for synthesis of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides, histidine, tryptophan and NAD. PRS exists as a complex with two catalytic subunits and two associated subunits. This gene encodes a non-catalytic associated subunit of PRS. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
