OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphoribosylation of ribose 5-phosphate to 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate, which is necessary for purine metabolism and nucleotide biosynthesis. Defects in this gene are a cause of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase superactivity, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease X-linked recessive type 5 and Arts Syndrome. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PRPS1 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads PRPS1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PRPS1 could matter depends on whether native PRPS1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PRPS1 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label PRPS1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
