A phosphoribosyltransferase is a type of
transferase
In biochemistry, a transferase is any one of a class of enzymes that catalyse the transfer of specific functional groups (e.g. a methyl or glycosyl group) from one molecule (called the donor) to another (called the acceptor). They are involved ...
enzyme.
Types include:
*
Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase
Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRTase) is an enzyme encoded by the ''APRT'' gene, found in humans on chromosome 16. It is part of the Type I PRTase family and is involved in the nucleotide salvage pathway, which provides an alternative to nuc ...
*
Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase
*
Orotate phosphoribosyltransferase
Orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRTase) or orotic acid phosphoribosyltransferase is an enzyme involved in pyrimidine biosynthesis. It catalyzes the formation of orotidine 5'-monophosphate (OMP) from orotate and phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate. ...
*
Quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase
*
Uracil phosphoribosyltransferase
Uracil phosphoribosyltransferase is an enzyme which creates UMP from uracil and phosphoribosylpyrophosphate. This protein may use the morpheein model of allosteric regulation
In the fields of biochemistry and pharmacology an allosteric regul ...
