Function

Function:
Plays an important role in the de novo pathway and in the salvage pathway of purine nucleotide biosynthesis. Catalyzes the first committed step in the biosynthesis of AMP from IMP.
Pathway:
Purine metabolism; AMP biosynthesis via de novo pathway; AMP from IMP: step 1/2.
Catalytic Activity:
GTP + IMP + L-aspartate = GDP + phosphate + N(6)-(1,2-dicarboxyethyl)-AMP.
Cofactor:
COFACTOR: Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420;
Active Site:
ACT_SITE 40 40 Proton acceptor.
