QPRT is a key enzyme in the catabolism of quinolinate. QPRT is in between the tryptophannicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) pathway, resulting in the production of nicotinic acid, carbon dioxide and pyrophosphate. Rise of QPRT levels in the brain is related to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and Huntington's disease.
QPRT Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 317 amino acids (1-297 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 32.9 kDa. The QPRT is fused to a 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
| UniProt Protein Function: | QPRT: Involved in the catabolism of quinolinic acid (QA). Belongs to the NadC/ModD family. |
| UniProt Protein Details: | Protein type:Transferase; EC 2.4.2.19; Cofactor and Vitamin Metabolism - nicotinate and nicotinamide Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 16p11.2 Cellular Component: cytoplasm; cytosol Molecular Function:nicotinate-nucleotide diphosphorylase (carboxylating) activity; protein homodimerization activity Biological Process: NAD biosynthetic process; NAD metabolic process; protein oligomerization |
| NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes a key enzyme in catabolism of quinolinate, an intermediate in the tryptophan-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide pathway. Quinolinate acts as a most potent endogenous exitotoxin to neurons. Elevation of quinolinate levels in the brain has been linked to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and Huntington's disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015] |
