Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; phosphoribosylaminoimidazole carboxylase activity; and phosphoribosylaminoimidazolesuccinocarboxamide synthase activity. Predicted to be involved in purine-containing compound biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within purine nucleotide biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in schizophrenia. Orthologous to human PAICS (phosphoribosylaminoimidazole carboxylase and phosphoribosylaminoimidazolesuccinocarboxamide synthase).
