ATIC (Bifunctional purine biosynthesis protein ATIC) is an enzyme. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Lung cancer. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Biology
Bifunctional enzyme that catalyses the last two steps of purine biosynthesis. Acts as a transformylase that incorporates a formyl group to the AMP analog AICAR (5-amino-1-(5-phospho-beta-D-ribosyl)imidazole-4-carboxamide) to produce the intermediate formyl-AICAR (FAICAR). Can use both 10-formyldihydrofolate and 10-formyltetrahydrofolate as the formyl donor in this reaction. Also catalyses the cyclisation of FAICAR to inosine monophosphate (IMP). Is able to convert thio-AICAR to 6-mercaptopurine ribonucleotide, an inhibitor of purine biosynthesis used in the treatment of human leukaemias. Promotes insulin receptor/INSR autophosphorylation and is involved in INSR internalisation. Location: Cytoplasm, cytosol (UniProt). Locus 2q35 (HGNC).
