Source: NCBI Gene (ID 67375)
Symbol: Qprt
Full name: quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: PROVISIONAL
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: 2410027J01Rik; QPRTase
Summary: Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and nicotinate-nucleotide diphosphorylase (carboxylating) activity. Predicted to be involved in NAD biosynthetic process and quinolinate catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within pyridine nucleotide biosynthetic process. Predicted to be part of catalytic complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including hindlimb; integumental system; liver; skeleton; and urinary system. Orthologous to human QPRT (quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
