Essential Biochemistry - Nucleic Acid Metabolism (Section 2 - No. 38)
What is the role of HGPRT in purine metabolism?
It catalyzes the synthesis of IMP from hypoxanthine.
It is part of the de novo purine synthesis pathway.
It is involved in the salvage pathway, converting hypoxanthine and guanine into IMP and GMP, respectively.
It is involved in the degradation of purine nucleotides.
