AMPD3: Proteins and Enzymes

AMPD3, or Adenosine monophosphate deaminase 3, contains a 88 kDa, 24 kDa, 76 kDa, 90 kDa, 89 kDa, and 71 kDa isoform, and is involved in energy metabolism, where it catalyzes the reaction in which adenosine monophosphate transforms into inosine monophosphate. Research currently being conducted on AMPD3 includes its relation with a variety of diseases and disorders, including adenosine monophosphate deaminase deficiency, myopathy, Alzheimer's disease, adenocarcinoma, ischemia, erythrocyte amp deaminase deficiency, hepatocellular carcinoma, hypoxia, malaria, nephropathy, and metabolic disorders. This protein is associated with purine salvage and nucleotide metabolism, in which it interacts with ALB.
