UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: MTAP_HUMAN (Q13126)
Gene Name: MTAP
Synonyms: MSAP
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Function: Catalyzes the reversible phosphorylation of S-methyl-5'- thioadenosine (MTA) to adenine and 5-methylthioribose-1-phosphate. Involved in the breakdown of MTA, a major by-product of polyamine biosynthesis. Responsible for the first step in the methionine salvage pathway after MTA has been generated from S- adenosylmethionine. Has broad substrate specificity with 6- aminopurine nucleosides as preferred substrates.
