Gene: PTS (6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase)  Homo sapiens

Symbol: PTS
Name: 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase
Description: The enzyme encoded by this gene catalyzes the elimination of inorganic triphosphate from dihydroneopterin triphosphate, which is the second and irreversible step in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin from GTP. Tetrahydrobiopterin, also known as BH(4), is an essential cofactor and regulator of various enzyme activities, including enzymes involved in serotonin biosynthesis and NO synthase activity. Mutations in this gene result in hyperphenylalaninemia. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
Type: protein-coding
RefSeq Status: REVIEWED
Also known as: 6-pyruvoyl tetrahydrobiopterin synthase; 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase; FLJ97081; OTTHUMP00000235385; PTP synthase; PTPS
