Gene: HINT1

Alternate names for this Gene: HINT|NMAN|PKCI-1|PRKCNH1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that hydrolyzes purine nucleotide phosphoramidates substrates, including AMP-morpholidate, AMP-N-alanine methyl ester, AMP-alpha-acetyl lysine methyl ester, and AMP-NH2. The encoded protein interacts with these substrates via a histidine triad motif. This gene is considered a tumor suppressor gene. In addition, mutations in this gene can cause autosomal recessive neuromyotonia and axonal neuropathy. There are several related pseudogenes on chromosome 7. Several transcript variants have been observed.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 5

Location in Chromosome : 5q23.3

Description of this Gene: histidine triad nucleotide binding protein 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
