What Does AMPD Stand For?

AMPD stands for AMP Deaminase

AMPD, or AMP Deaminase, is an enzyme that catalyzes the deamination of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to inosine monophosphate (IMP). It plays a crucial role in purine metabolism, regulating energy balance and nucleotide synthesis in various tissues, particularly in skeletal muscle and the heart. Deficiencies in AMPD can lead to metabolic disorders, impacting exercise capacity and overall energy homeostasis.
