NCIt definition : Human APRT wild-type allele is located within 16q24 and is approximately 2 kb in length.
This allele, which encodes adenine phosphoribosyltransferase protein, is involved
in an AMP purine salvage reaction that recycles adenine into nucleic acids by formation
of AMP from adenine and 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate. Defects in the APRT gene
cause APRT deficiency, a disorder also known as 2,8-dihydroxyadenine urolithiasis.;
