Gene information for PRPS2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5634
Official gene symbolPRPS2
Full namephosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 2
Aliases,PRSII,
Gene summaryThis 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. [provided by RefSeq]
