Alternative Names
Hypoxanthine-Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase; HGPRT; HGPRTase; HPRT1; HPRT
Background
Hypoxanthine-Guanine Phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) has an important role in the generation of purine nucleotides through the purine salvage pathway. HPRT1 functions to salvage purines from degraded DNA to renewed purine synthesis, it acts as a catalyst in the reaction between guanine and phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate to form GMP.
