PRPS2
Function
Catalyzes the synthesis of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP) that is essential for nucleotide synthesis.
Pathway
Metabolic intermediate biosynthesis; 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate biosynthesis; 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate from D-ribose 5-phosphate (route I): step 1/1.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the ribose-phosphate pyrophosphokinase family.
Alternative names
