Component

Human 4-phosphopantetheinyl transferase / AASDHPPT

Homo sapiens protein; gene perturbations are separate gene entities.

3 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it acts on

  1. Human phosphopantetheinyl transferase transfers a CoA-derived prosthetic group to ALDH1L2 Ser375.

    Experimental context and source evidence

Where it participates (unsigned role)

  1. Human AASDHPPT transfers the 4′-phosphopantetheine moiety of CoA to a conserved serine in the human FASN acyl-carrier domain.
