Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
MDS018PPC-DCcoaC
Chromosome 15
Chromosome location 15q24.2
Summary Biosynthesis of coenzyme A (CoA) from pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is an essential universal pathway in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. PPCDC (EC 4.1.1.36), one of the last enzymes in this pathway, converts phosphopantothenoylcysteine to 4-prime-phosphopante
