LOC314140 - ribose-phosphate pyrophosphokinase I -like

Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and ribose phosphate diphosphokinase activity. Predicted to be involved in 5-phosphoribose 1-diphosphate biosynthetic process and purine nucleotide biosynthetic process. Predicted to be part of ribose phosphate diphosphokinase complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Arts syndrome; X-linked deafness 1; X-linked recessive disease (multiple); gout; and retinitis pigmentosa. Orthologous to human PRPS1 (phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
