Gene: PTS

Alternate names for this Gene: PTPS

Gene Summary: The enzyme encoded by this gene catalyzes the elimination of inorganic triphosphate from dihydroneopterin triphosphate, which is the second and irreversible step in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin from GTP. Tetrahydrobiopterin, also known as BH(4), is an essential cofactor and regulator of various enzyme activities, including enzymes involved in serotonin biosynthesis and NO synthase activity. Mutations in this gene result in hyperphenylalaninemia.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 11

Location in Chromosome : 11q23.1

Description of this Gene: 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase

Type of Gene: protein-coding
