Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (or APRTase) is an enzyme involved in the purine salvage pathway. It functions as a catalyst in the reaction between adenine and phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP) to form AMP. APRTase is labeled as EC 2.4.2.7.
Deficiency of APRT in human beings may lead to kidney stones formed of adenine and salts. APRT is functionally related to HPRT.
