Biology:Flavin adenine dinucleotide synthetase 1

Short description: Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

Generic protein structure example

Flavin adenine dinucleotide synthetase 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FLAD1 gene.

Function

This gene encodes the enzyme that catalyzes adenylation of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) to form flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) coenzyme. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed.
