General description

Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase/glutamine phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase (PPAT, PRAT, ATASE, GPAT) catalyzes the first committed step in de novo purine biosynthesis by converting α-phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (α-PRPP) into 5-β-phosphoribosylamine. Phosphoribosylamine (PRA) is the first intermediate in the common purine/thiamine biosynthetic pathway.

Specificity

Anti-PPAT polyclonal antibody reacts with bovine, rat, canine, and human phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase/glutamine phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase enzymes.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human PPAT

Application

Anti-PPAT polyclonal antibody is used to tag phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase in purine/pyrimidine biosynthesis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

PPAT is a member of the purine/pyrimidine phosphoribosyltransferase family. This protein is a regulatory allosteric enzyme that catalyzes the first step of de novo purine nucleotide biosynthesis. Its gene and PAICS/AIRC, a bifunctional enzyme catalyzing steps six and seven in the purine nucleotide biosynthesis pathway, are located in close proximity on chromosome 4.The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the purine/pyrimidine phosphoribosyltransferase family.
