Summary
PFAS (phosphoribosylformylglycinamidine synthase, HGNC:8863) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17p13.1, encoding Phosphoribosylformylglycinamidine synthase (O15067). Phosphoribosylformylglycinamidine synthase involved in the purines biosynthetic pathway. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 34.6% of cell lines).
Purines are necessary for many cellular processes, including DNA replication, transcription, and energy metabolism. Ten enzymatic steps are required to synthesize inosine monophosphate (IMP) in the de novo pathway of purine biosynthesis. The enzyme encoded by this gene catalyzes the fourth step of IMP biosynthesis.
