D010754	Phosphoribosyl Pyrophosphate	The key substance in the biosynthesis of histidine, tryptophan, and purine and pyrimidine nucleotides.	Pyrophosphate, Phosphoribosyl
D011686	Purine-Pyrimidine Metabolism, Inborn Errors	Dysfunctions in the metabolism of PURINES or PYRIMIDINES resulting from inborn genetic mutations that are inherited or acquired in utero.	Purine Pyrimidine Metabolism, Inborn Errors
D011687	Purines	A series of heterocyclic compounds that are variously substituted in nature and are known also as purine bases. They include ADENINE and GUANINE, constituents of nucleic acids, as well as many alkaloids such as CAFFEINE and THEOPHYLLINE. Uric acid is the metabolic end product of purine metabolism.
D005973	Glutamine	A non-essential amino acid present abundantly throughout the body and is involved in many metabolic processes. It is synthesized from GLUTAMIC ACID and AMMONIA. It is the principal carrier of NITROGEN in the body and is an important energy source for many cells.	D-Glutamine,L-Glutamine,D Glutamine,L Glutamine
D006801	Humans	Members of the species Homo sapiens.	Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000582	Amidophosphoribosyltransferase	An enzyme, involved in the early steps of purine nucleotide biosynthesis, that catalyzes the formation of 5-phosphoribosylamine from glutamine and phosphoribosylpyrophosphate. EC 2.4.2.14.	Glutamine Phosphoribosyl Pyrophosphate Amidotransferase,Phosphoribosyl Pyrophosphate Amidotransferase,Glutamine-Amidophosphoribosyltransferase,Phosphoribosyldiphosphate 5-Amidotransferase,5-Amidotransferase, Phosphoribosyldiphosphate,Amidotransferase, Phosphoribosyl Pyrophosphate,Glutamine Amidophosphoribosyltransferase,Phosphoribosyldiphosphate 5 Amidotransferase,Pyrophosphate Amidotransferase, Phosphoribosyl
D000641	Ammonia	A colorless alkaline gas. It is formed in the body during decomposition of organic materials during a large number of metabolically important reactions. Note that the aqueous form of ammonia is referred to as AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE.
