Gene ID: 27010, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PP20; HTPK1; THMD5

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene functions as a homodimer and catalyzes the conversion of thiamine to thiamine pyrophosphate, a cofactor for some enzymes of the glycolytic and energy production pathways. Defects in this gene are a cause of thiamine metabolism dysfunction syndrome-5. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2017]
