Ppat Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables amidophosphoribosyltransferase activity. Involved in purine ribonucleoside monophosphate biosynthetic process. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; respiratory system; submandibular gland primordium; and urinary system. Orthologous to human PPAT (phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ppat often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Glutamine amidotransferase domain
- amidophosphoribosyltransferase
- Phosphoribosyl transferase (PRT)-type I domain
- enzyme
- protein binding
- identical protein binding
- Gn_AT_II
