======= CTPS2 ======= == Gene Information == * **Official Symbol**: CTPS2 * **Official Name**: CTP synthase 2 * **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A * **Entrez ID**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=56474|56474]] * **UniProt**: [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q9NRF8|Q9NRF8]] * **Interactions**: [[https://thebiogrid.org/search.php?search=CTPS2&organism=9606|BioGRID]] * **PubMed articles**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=gene%20CTPS2|Open PubMed]] * **OMIM**: [[https://omim.org/entry/300380|Open OMIM]] == Function Summary == * **Entrez Summary**: The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the formation of CTP from UTP with the concomitant deamination of glutamine to glutamate. This protein is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of cytosine nucleotides, which play an important role in various metabolic processes and provide the precursors necessary for the synthesis of RNA and DNA. Cancer cells that exhibit increased cell proliferation also exhibit an increased activity of this encoded protein. Thus, this protein is an attractive target for selective chemotherapy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]. * **UniProt Summary**: Catalyzes the ATP-dependent amination of UTP to CTP with either L-glutamine or ammonia as the source of nitrogen. Constitutes the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of cytosine nucleotides. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10899599, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16179339}. |CTP synth N| |Peptidase C26| |GATase| |de novo CTP biosynthetic process| |CTP synthase activity| |cytoophidium| |pyrimidine nucleobase biosynthetic process| |CTP biosynthetic process| |CTP metabolic process| |pyrimidine ribonucleoside triphosphate biosynthetic process| |pyrimidine ribonucleoside triphosphate metabolic process| |pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphate biosynthetic process| |nucleobase biosynthetic process| |pyrimidine nucleobase metabolic process| |pyrimidine ribonucleotide biosynthetic process| |glutamine metabolic process| |pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphate metabolic process| |pyrimidine ribonucleotide metabolic process| |nucleobase-containing small molecule interconversion| |nucleobase metabolic process| |pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthetic process| |ribonucleoside triphosphate biosynthetic process| |pyrimidine-containing compound biosynthetic process| |pyrimidine nucleotide metabolic process| |nucleoside triphosphate biosynthetic process| |ribonucleoside triphosphate metabolic process| |glutamine family amino acid metabolic process| |nucleoside triphosphate metabolic process| |pyrimidine-containing compound metabolic process| |ribonucleotide biosynthetic process| |ribose phosphate biosynthetic process| |alpha-amino acid metabolic process| |nucleotide biosynthetic process| |nucleoside phosphate biosynthetic process| |cellular amino acid metabolic process| |ribonucleotide metabolic process| |ribose phosphate metabolic process| |nucleotide metabolic process| |nucleoside phosphate metabolic process| |organophosphate biosynthetic process| |nucleobase-containing small molecule metabolic process| |carbohydrate derivative biosynthetic process| |organophosphate metabolic process| |carboxylic acid metabolic process| |oxoacid metabolic process| |organic acid metabolic process| |carbohydrate derivative metabolic process| |identical protein binding| |nucleobase-containing compound biosynthetic process| |heterocycle biosynthetic process| |aromatic compound biosynthetic process| |organic cyclic compound biosynthetic process| |organonitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |ATP binding| |cellular nitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |small molecule metabolic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
