Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ribose phosphate diphosphokinase activity. Involved in 5-phosphoribose 1-diphosphate biosynthetic process and pentose-phosphate shunt. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in alimentary system; central nervous system; heart; liver; and retina. Orthologous to human PRPS2 (phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 2). PHENOTYPE: Males hemizygous for a null allele show altered B cell physiology with a minor decrease in rates of purine nucleotide biosynthesis. [provided by MGI curators] |
