| Full name | | phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 2 |
| Aliases | | ,PRSII, |
| Gene summary | | This 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] |
