AMP deaminase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the AMPD1 gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Adenosine monophosphate deaminase is an enzyme that converts adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to inosine monophosphate (IMP), freeing an ammonia molecule in the process.
(With the exception of AMP deaminase deficiency, where ammonia is produced during exercise when adenosine, from AMP, is converted into inosine). During rest (ADP<ATP), ammonia is produced from the conversion of adenosine into inosine by adenosine deaminase. AMP + H 2 O + H + → IMP + NH 3 (catalyzed by AMP deaminase in skeletal muscle)
Adenosine monophosphate (AMP), also known as 5'-adenylic acid, is a nucleotide. AMP consists of a phosphate group, the sugar ribose , and the nucleobase adenine . It is an ester of phosphoric acid and the nucleoside adenosine . [ 1 ]
Purines are biologically synthesized as nucleotides and in particular as ribotides, i.e. bases attached to ribose 5-phosphate.Both adenine and guanine are derived from the nucleotide inosine monophosphate (IMP), which is the first compound in the pathway to have a completely formed purine ring system.
Adenosine-phosphate deaminase is found in most, if not all organisms in all tissues, however, muscle tissue is the richest source. [6] The basic pathway of adenosine-phosphate deaminase is to replace a C-N bond of a 5'-AMP to replace the carboxyl group forming 5'-IMP. 5'-IMP is then catalyzed by Inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) in guanine nucleotide biosynthesis.
Adenosine monophosphate deaminase deficiency type 1 or AMPD1, is a human metabolic disorder in which the body consistently lacks the enzyme AMP deaminase, [1] in sufficient quantities. This may result in exercise intolerance, muscle pain and muscle cramping. The disease was formerly known as myoadenylate deaminase deficiency (MADD).
AMP deaminase 3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the AMPD3 gene. [5] [6]This gene encodes a member of the AMP deaminase gene family. The encoded protein is a highly regulated enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolytic deamination of adenosine monophosphate to inosine monophosphate, a branch point in the adenylate catabolic pathway.
In purine synthesis, PRPP is turned into inosine monophosphate, or IMP. Production of IMP from PRPP requires glutamine, glycine, aspartate, and 6 ATP, among other things. [1] IMP is then converted to AMP (adenosine monophosphate) using GTP and aspartate, which is converted into fumarate.
