Gene ID: 271, updated on 22-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: AMPD; PCH9; SPG63

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is important in purine metabolism by converting AMP to IMP. The encoded protein, which acts as a homotetramer, is one of three AMP deaminases found in mammals. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012]
