Gene: PANK4

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein belonging to the pantothenate kinase family. Pantothenate kinase is a key regulatory enzyme in the biosynthesis of coenzyme A (CoA) in bacteria and mammalian cells. It catalyzes the first committed step in the universal biosynthetic pathway leading to CoA and is itself subject to regulation through feedback inhibition by CoA. This family member is most abundant in muscle but is expressed in all tissues.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1p36.32

Description of this Gene: pantothenate kinase 4 (inactive)

Type of Gene: protein-coding
