AMP deaminase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the AMPD1 gene.[1][2]

Adenosine monophosphate deaminase is an enzyme that converts adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to inosine monophosphate (IMP), freeing an ammonia molecule in the process.

Adenosine monophosphate deaminase 1 catalyzes the deamination of AMP to IMP in skeletal muscle and plays an important role in the purine nucleotide cycle. Two other genes have been identified, AMPD2 and AMPD3, for the liver- and erythrocyte-specific isoforms, respectively. Deficiency of the muscle-specific enzyme is apparently a common cause of exercise-induced myopathy and probably the most common cause of metabolic myopathy in the human.[2]

Function

It is a part of the metabolic process that converts sugar, fat, and protein into cellular energy.

In order to use energy, a cell converts one of the above fuels into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) via the mitochondria. Cellular processes, especially muscles, then convert the ATP into adenosine diphosphate (ADP), freeing the energy to do work.

A new research report [3] shows that the widely-prescribed diabetes medication metformin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metformin works on AMP kinase by directly inhibiting AMP deaminase, thereby increasing cellular AMP.

Pathology

A deficiency is associated with myoadenylate deaminase deficiency.
