Enzymes of Purine Metabolism in Platelets: Phosphoribosylpyrophosphate Synthetase and Purine Phosphoribosyltransferases

  • Chapter
Purine Metabolism in Man

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 41A))

Abstract

Human platelets do not synthesize nucleotides de novo (1) but have been demonstrated to possess salvage pathways utilizing adenine and adenosine (2,3). On the other hand, no evidence has been reported as yet for the presence of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransfe-rase (HGPRT) in human platelets.
