APRT
gene geneOn this page
Summary
APRT (adenine phosphoribosyltransferase, HGNC:626) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16q24.3, encoding Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (P07741). Catalyzes a salvage reaction resulting in the formation of AMP, that is energically less costly than de novo synthesis.
Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase belongs to the purine/pyrimidine phosphoribosyltransferase family. A conserved feature of this gene is the distribution of CpG dinucleotides. This enzyme catalyzes the formation of AMP and inorganic pyrophosphate from adenine and 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP). It also produces adenine as a by-product of the polyamine biosynthesis pathway. A homozygous deficiency in this enzyme causes 2,8-dihydroxyadenine urolithiasis. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

- binding to hAPRT is substrate shape-specific in the forward reaction, whereas it is base-specific in the reverse reaction.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Catalyzes a salvage reaction resulting in the formation of AMP, that is energically less costly than de novo synthesis.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm.
Disease relevance. Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase deficiency (APRTD) [MIM:614723] An enzymatic deficiency that can lead to urolithiasis and renal failure. Patients have 2,8-dihydroxyadenine (DHA) urinary stones. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Pathway. Purine metabolism; AMP biosynthesis via salvage pathway; AMP from adenine: step 1/1.
Similarity. Belongs to the purine/pyrimidine phosphoribosyltransferase family.

Molecules with ChEMBL bioactivity
Phase ≥1, by development phase (incl. off-target/promiscuous compounds). Patent mentions across the top 20 by phase: 2,278 (via chembl_molecule»patent_compound — counts attach to the compound, not the gene–compound relationship, so off-target/promiscuous molecules can dominate).
