TAIR Computational Description | Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a protein with hypoxanthine-guanine-phosphoribosyltransferase activity. Unlike some related enzymes, it does not appear to act on xanthine in vitro. The enzyme catalyzes reactions occurring in both directions, but appears to prefer acting on guanine, followed by hypoxanthine, in vitro. The enzyme is likely to function in purine salvage pathways and appears to be important for seed germination. |
