Accelerated Transcription of PRPS1 in X-linked Overactivity of Normal Human Phosphoribosylpyrophosphate Synthetase
1 Mar 1999
Abstract excerpt
Phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP) synthetase (PRS) superactivity is an X-linked disorder characterized by gout with overproduction of purine nucleotides and uric acid. Study of the two X-linked PRS isoforms (PRS1 and PRS2) in cells from certain affected individuals has shown selectively increased concentrations of structurally normal PRS1 transcript and isoform, suggesting that this form of the disorder involves...
