Molecular Function
Prps1l3 phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase 1-like 3 0.73 * 0.70 * Converts ribose 5-phosphate into phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP) [23]
Entpd4 ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 4 0.84 ** 0.76 ** Catalyzes the hydrolysis of nucleotide diphosphates and triphosphates in a calcium or magnesium-dependent manner [24]
Ak4 adenylate kinase 4 0.78 ** 0.76 ** Catalyze the reversible transfer of the terminal phosphate group between ATP and AMP [25]

Table values are expressed as mean ± SEM for three mice in each group. * p < 0.10, ** p < 0.05 in comparison to model control mice.
