Summary

PLPBP (pyridoxal phosphate binding protein, HGNC:9457) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8p11.23, encoding Pyridoxal phosphate homeostasis protein (O94903). Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP)-binding protein, which may be involved in intracellular homeostatic regulation of pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP), the active form of vitamin B6.

This gene encodes a pyridoxal 5’-phosphate binding protein involved in the homeostatic regulation of intracellular pyridoxal 5’-phosphate. This gene has a tumor suppressive effect on hepatocellular carcinoma and other solid tumors of epithelial origin. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with a pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy.

All UniProt accessions (5): E5RFX7, E5RFZ4, E5RG77, O94903, H0YBG2

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP)-binding protein, which may be involved in intracellular homeostatic regulation of pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP), the active form of vitamin B6.

Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous.

Disease relevance. Epilepsy, early-onset, 1, vitamin B6-dependent (EPEO1) [MIM:617290] An autosomal recessive neurologic disorder characterized by seizures responsive to treatment with activated vitamin B6 and/or pyridoxine. Most patients show delayed psychomotor development, intellectual disability and learning disability. Seizures onset is in the first days or months of life. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Similarity. Belongs to the pyridoxal phosphate-binding protein YggS/PROSC family.
