In enzymology, a phosphoribosylaminoimidazolecarboxamide formyltransferase (), also known by the shorter name AICAR transformylase, is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction :10-formyltetrahydrofolate + AICAR tetrahydrofolate + FAICAR Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 10-formyltetrahydrofolate and AICAR, whereas its two products are tetrahydrofolate and FAICAR. This enzyme participates in purine metabolism and one carbon pool by folate. == Nomenclature == This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases that transfer one-carbon groups, specifically the hydroxymethyl-, formyl- and related transferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 10-formyltetrahydrofolate:5-phosphoribosyl-5-amino-4-imidazole-carb oxamide N-formyltransferase. Other names in common use include: * 10-formyltetrahydrofolate:5-phosphoribosyl-5-amino-4-imidazolecarboxamide formyltransferase * 5-amino-1-ribosyl-4-imidazolecarboxamide 5-phosphate, * 5-amino-4-imidazolecarboxamide ribonucleotide transformylase, * 5-amino-4-imidazolecarboxamide ribotide transformylase, * 5-phosphoribosyl-5-amino-4-imidazolecarboxamide formyltransferase, * AICAR formyltransferase, * AICAR transformylase, * aminoimidazolecarboxamide ribonucleotide transformylase, and * transformylase. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Phosphoribosylaminoimidazolecarboxamide formyltransferase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
