Target General Infomation
Target ID
T70101
Former ID
TTDR00956
Target Name
CTP synthase
Gene Name
CTPS1
Synonyms
CTP synthetase; Cytidine 5'-triphosphate synthetase; Cytidine triphosphate synthetase; UTP--ammonia ligase; UTP:ammonia ligase (ADP-forming); Uridine triphosphate aminase; CTPS1
Target Type
Clinical Trial
Disease Solid tumours [ICD9: 140-199, 210-229; ICD10: C00-D48]
Function
This enzyme is involved in the de novo synthesis of CTP, a precursor of DNA, RNA and phospholipids. Catalyzes the ATP- dependent amination of UTP to CTP with either L-glutamine or ammonia as a source of nitrogen. This enzyme and its product, CTP, play a crucial role in the proliferation of activated lymphocytes and therefore in immunity.
BioChemical Class
Carbon-nitrogen ligase
