Predicted to enable dephospho-CoA kinase activity and pantetheine-phosphate adenylyltransferase activity. Involved in coenzyme A biosynthetic process. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of CoA-synthesizing protein complex. Used to study cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mucopolysaccharidosis III; neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation 6; and pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 12. Orthologous to human COASY (Coenzyme A synthase).
SGD Description
Subunit of the CoA-Synthesizing Protein Complex (CoA-SPC); subunits of this complex are: Cab2p, Cab3p, Cab4p, Cab5p, Sis2p and Vhs3p; involved in histone acylation; probable pantetheine-phosphate adenylyltransferase (PPAT); PPAT catalyzes the fourth step in the biosynthesis of coenzyme A from pantothenate; null mutant lethality is complemented by E. coli coaD (encoding PPAT) and by human COASY
