Gene: GUK1

Alternate names for this Gene: GMK

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to guanosine monophosphate (GMP) to form guanosine diphosphate (GDP). The encoded protein is thought to be a good target for cancer chemotherapy. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1q42.13

Description of this Gene: guanylate kinase 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
