Pentose shunt, phosphoribosylpyrophosphate generation and purine-phosphoribosyltransferases in erythrocytes of patients with polycythemia vera. 1975

O Sperling, and P Boer, and S Brosh, and E Elazar, and J Pinkhas, and A Szeinberg, and A de Vries

Erythrocytes of patients with polycythemia vera exhibited increased activity of oxidative pentose shunt, accelerated generation of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate, increased incorporation of 14C-adenine into nucleotides, and increased activity and thermostability of adenine-phosphoribosyltransferase. These abnormalities are attributed to age dependency of the pathways concerned and presence in polycythemia vera of an erythrocyte population younger than normal.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007041 Hypoxanthine Phosphoribosyltransferase An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate and hypoxanthine, guanine, or MERCAPTOPURINE to the corresponding 5'-mononucleotides and pyrophosphate. The enzyme is important in purine biosynthesis as well as central nervous system functions. Complete lack of enzyme activity is associated with the LESCH-NYHAN SYNDROME, while partial deficiency results in overproduction of uric acid. EC 2.4.2.8.

D011087 Polycythemia Vera A myeloproliferative disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by abnormal proliferation of all hematopoietic bone marrow elements and an absolute increase in red cell mass and total blood volume, associated frequently with splenomegaly, leukocytosis, and thrombocythemia. Hematopoiesis is also reactive in extramedullary sites (liver and spleen). In time myelofibrosis occurs.
