About CAD

Cytogenetic location: 2p23.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:27,217,369-27,243,943 (from NCBI)

This gene has 11 transcripts (splice variants), 206 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 7.3), ovary (RPKM 6.7) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

The de novo synthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides is required for mammalian cells to proliferate. This gene encodes a trifunctional protein which is associated with the enzymatic activities of the first 3 enzymes in the 6-step pathway of pyrimidine biosynthesis: carbamoylphosphate synthetase (CPS II), aspartate transcarbamoylase, and dihydroorotase. This protein is regulated by the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade, which indicates a direct link between activation of the MAPK cascade and de novo biosynthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
