Structural highlights
DiseasePYRG1_HUMAN The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. A unique and recessive G to C mutation probably affecting a splice donor site at the junction of intron 17-18 and exon 18 has been identified in all patients. It results in expression of an abnormal transcript lacking exon 18 and a complete loss of the expression of the protein.[1] FunctionPYRG1_HUMAN This enzyme is involved in the de novo synthesis of CTP, a precursor of DNA, RNA and phospholipids. Catalyzes the ATP-dependent amination of UTP to CTP with either L-glutamine or ammonia as a source of nitrogen. This enzyme and its product, CTP, play a crucial role in the proliferation of activated lymphocytes and therefore in immunity.[2] [3] References
