Hprt - hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase Gene

Also Known as HPGRT; Hprt1

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 15452

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a transferase, which catalyzes conversion of hypoxanthine to inosine monophosphate and guanine to guanosine monophosphate via transfer of the 5-phosphoribosyl group from 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate. This enzyme plays a central role in the generation of purine nucleotides through the purine salvage pathway. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
