gene: B0228.7 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable S-methyl-5-thioadenosine phosphorylase activity. Predicted to be involved in L-methionine salvage from methylthioadenosine. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Expressed in Ea and Ep. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in common bile duct neoplasm; diaphyseal medullary stenosis with malignant fibrous histiocytoma; and pancreatic cancer. Is an ortholog of human MTAP (methylthioadenosine phosphorylase).
