GFPT1

Also known as CMSTA1, GFA, GFAT, GFAT 1, GFAT1, GFAT1m, GFPT, GFPT1L

Glucosamine—fructose-6-phosphate aminotransferase isomerizing 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GFPT1 gene.

Gene data

GFPT1

Name: glutamine--fructose-6-phosphate transaminase 1
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: CMS12, CMSTA1, GFA, GFAT, GFAT 1, GFAT1, GFAT1m, GFPT, GFPT1L, MSLG

This gene encodes the first and rate-limiting enzyme of the hexosamine pathway and controls the flux of glucose into the hexosamine pathway. The product of this gene catalyzes the formation of glucosamine 6-phosphate. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008].
