QPRT
-
Official Full Name
quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase
-
Overview
This gene encodes a key enzyme in catabolism of quinolinate, an intermediate in the tryptophan-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide pathway. Quinolinate acts as a most potent endogenous exitotoxin to neurons. Elevation of quinolinate levels in the brain has been linked to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders such as epilepsy, Alzheimers disease, and Huntingtons disease. -
Synonyms

QPRT has several biochemical functions, for example, nicotinate-nucleotide diphosphorylase (carboxylating) activity, protein homodimerization activity. Some of the functions are cooperated with other proteins, some of the functions could acted by QPRT itself. We selected most functions QPRT had, and list some proteins which have the same functions with QPRT. You can find most of the proteins on our site.
