Abstract excerpt
Human AMP deaminase (AMPD; EC 3.5.4.6) isoforms are encoded by a multigene family and have conserved C-terminal domains that contain catalytic residues and an ATP-binding site. N-terminal domains diverge dramatically, yet are conserved when compared across mammalian species. Cross-species conservation of entire gene-specific polypeptides (e.g., rat versus human AMPD1) suggests that divergent N-terminal domains...
