hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase

hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase
(HPRT) hy·po·xan·thine phos·pho·ri·bo·syl·trans·fer·ase (HPRT) (hi″po-zanґthēn fos″fo-ri″bo-səl-transґfər-ās) [EC 2.4.2.8] an enzyme of the transferase class that catalyzes the phosphorylation of hypoxanthine or guanine to its corresponding nucleoside monophosphate, a salvage mechanism for recovery of preformed purines, especially in the central nervous system. Absence of enzyme activity, an X-linked trait, results in Lesch-Nyhan syndrome; partially decreased enzyme activity results in hyperuricemia and severe gouty arthritis without the neurologic sequelae of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. Called also hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase.
