Target Details for PPCS

Target: PPCS (Phosphopantothenoylcysteine Synthetase (PPCS))

Alternative Name: PPCS

Background:

Synonyms: Phosphopantothenate--cysteine ligase, Phosphopantothenoylcysteine synthetase, PPC synthetase, PPCS, COAB

Tissue Specificity: Expressed in heart, placenta, skeletal muscle kidney, pancreas, spleen, prostate, testis, ovary, ileum and colon. Expressed in lung endothelial and smooth muscle cells (at protein level).

Background: Phosphopantothenoylcysteine synthetase in humans is encoded by the PPCS gene. Biosynthesis of coenzyme A (CoA) from pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is an essential universal pathway in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. PPCS, one of the last enzymes in this pathway, converts phosphopantothenate to phosphopantothenoylcysteine. By genomic sequence analysis, this PPCS gene ia mapped to chromosome 1.

Molecular Weight: 35 kDa

Gene ID: 79717

Pathways: Ribonucleoside Biosynthetic Process
