FAMILY
  • purine/pyrimidine phosphoribosyltransferase family
    • CATEGORY enzyme
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
    basic FUNCTION
  • having a central role in the generation of purine nucleotides through the purine salvage pathway
  • catalyzes conversion of hypoxanthine to inosine monophosphate and guanine to guanosine monophosphate via transfer of the 5-phosphoribosyl group from 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate
  • HPRT1-mediated purine recycling has an important role in regulating early developmental programming of dopaminergic neurons (Ceballos-Picot 2009)
  • playing a role in neurodevelopment (Cristini 2010)
