Target Full Name
Nicotinate-nucleotide pyrophosphorylase [carboxylating]
Target Function
Involved in the catabolism of quinolinic acid (QA).
Target Protein Families
NadC/ModD family
Target Synonyms
NADC_HUMAN; Nicotinate nucleotide pyrophosphorylase (carboxylating); Nicotinate-nucleotide pyrophosphorylase [carboxylating]; QAPRTase; QPRT; QPRTase; Quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase [decarboxylating]; Quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase
Target Background
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.
