Salvage Pathway
Term
This is essential for the synthesis of both purine and pyrimidine nucleotides

Where does salvage pathway occur
Definition
All tissues
Term
Most important enzyme in the synthesis of purine nucleotides
Definition
Amido PRT
Term
Overall strategy of de novo synthesis of purine nucleotides
Definition
Purine ring is assembled on ribose sugar and IMP is formed as the intermediate which then is converted into AMP and GMP
Term
How AMP is reduced to Uric Acid

GMP-->Remove P-->Guanosin-->Remove Ribose-->Guanine-->Oxidized-->Xanthine-->Uric Acid
Term
Reaction catalyzed by HRPT in purine salvage (Hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase
Definition
Hypoxanthine+PRPP-->IMP+PPi
and
Guanine+PRPP-->GMP+PPi
Term
Reaction catalyzed by ARPT Adenine Phosphoribosyl transferase in purine salvage
Definition
Adenine+PRPP-->AMP+PPi
Term
End product of purine metabolism
Definition
Uric Acid
Term
This enzyme removes the amino group from the Adenine base for the hypoxanthine
Definition
Adenosine Deaminase (ADA)
Term
Produces xanthine from hypoxanthine and uric acid from xanthine
Definition
Xanthine Oxidase
Term
In purine the first thing to be synthesized is the
