basic FUNCTION
| playing an essential role for nucleoside biosynthesis and for de novo purine synthesis |
|
catalyzes the reaction of ribose-5-phosphate (R5P) with ATP to yield AMP and PRPP (5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate), which is necessary for the de novo and salvage pathways of purine-, pyrimidine-, and pyridine-nucleotide biosynthesis |
|
may be playing a role in inner ear development and maintenance |
|
its activity is normally tightly regulated in neuronal cells and that imbalances in nucleotide metabolism are particularly detrimental to neuronal function |
|
serves as an adaptor to bridge SIAH1 to XIAP, targeting it for destruction |
|
initiates caspase activation upstream of cytochrome C and DIABLO |
|
is a key enzyme to produce the consensus precursor of nucleotide synthesis |
|
key enzyme in de novo nucleotide synthesis and nucleotide salvage synthesis pathways that are critical for purine and pyrimidine biosynthesis |
