TPK1( Human )
thiamin pyrophosphokinase 1
Alias
HTPK1|PP20|THMD5
The protein encoded by this gene functions as a homodimer and catalyzes the conversion of thiamine to thiamine pyrophosphate, a cofactor for some enzymes of the glycolytic and energy production pathways. Defects in this gene are a cause of thiamine metabolism dysfunction syndrome-5. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2017].
