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.

D007926	Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome	An inherited disorder transmitted as a sex-linked trait and caused by a deficiency of an enzyme of purine metabolism; HYPOXANTHINE PHOSPHORIBOSYLTRANSFERASE. Affected individuals are normal in the first year of life and then develop psychomotor retardation, extrapyramidal movement disorders, progressive spasticity, and seizures. Self-destructive behaviors such as biting of fingers and lips are seen frequently. Intellectual impairment may also occur but is typically not severe. Elevation of uric acid in the serum leads to the development of renal calculi and gouty arthritis.

D001708	Biopterins	Pterin derivatives based on 2-amino-6-(1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-4(1H)-pteridinone. Biopterins are natural products that have been considered as growth factors for some insects. Biopterins are cofactors for the AROMATIC AMINO ACID hydroxylases and NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Deficiencies in BIOPTERINS metabolism (e.g., lowered TETRAHYDROBIOPTERIN) are associated with neurological deterioration (e.g., HYPERPHENYLALANINAEMIA).	2-Amino-6-((1S,2R)-1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-4(1H)-pteridinone,2-Amino-6-((1S,2S)-1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-4(1H)-pteridinone,2-Amino-6-(1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-4(8H)-pteridinone,2-amino-6-((1R,2R)-1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-4(3H)-pteridinone,4(1H)-Pteridinone, 2-amino-6-(1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-, (S-(R,S))-,6-Biopterin,Biopterin,D-threo-Biopterin,L-Biopterin,L-erythro-Biopterin,L-threo-Biopterin,2-Amino-6-(1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-4(1H)-pteridinone,Dictyopterin,Orinapterin,6 Biopterin,D threo Biopterin,L Biopterin,L erythro Biopterin,L threo Biopterin
D019798	Neopterin	A pteridine derivative present in body fluids; elevated levels result from immune system activation, malignant disease, allograft rejection, and viral infections. (From Stedman, 26th ed) Neopterin also serves as a precursor in the biosynthesis of BIOPTERINS.	2-Amino-6-(1,2,3-trihydroxypropyl)-4(3H)-pteridinone,Monapterin,Neopterin, (R, R)-Isomer,Neopterin, (erythro-D)-Isomer,Neopterin, (erythro-L)-Isomer,Neopterin, (threo-D)-Isomer,Neopterin, (threo-L)-Isomer,Umanopterin
