CTPS1 CTP synthase 1

Gene ID: 1503, updated on 29-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CTPS; GATD5; IMD24; GATD5A

Summary

This gene encodes an enzyme responsible for the catalytic conversion of UTP (uridine triphosphate) to CTP (cytidine triphospate). This reaction is an important step in the biosynthesis of phospholipids and nucleic acids. Activity of this proten is important in the immune system, and loss of function of this gene has been associated with immunodeficiency. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
