Protein function (UniProt)

Thiamine pyrophosphokinase 1

Catalyzes the phosphorylation of thiamine to thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) utilizing UTP and therefore links the biosynthesis of TPP to pyrimidines metabolism (PubMed:38547260). By producing thiamine pyrophosphate, a cofactor of the mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase indirectly regulates pyruvate oxidation and lipogenesis (PubMed:38547260). Although it can also catalyze thiamine phosphorylation using ATP and CTP in vitro, it does so with significantly lower efficiency and without physiological relevance evidence (PubMed:11342111, PubMed:38547260)
