Background
TPK1(Thiamin pyrophosphokinase 1) is also named as PP20(placental protein 20) and belongs to the thiamine pyrophosphokinase family. It is a cellular enzyme involved in the regulation of thiamine metabolism and catalyzes the conversion of thiamine, a form of vitamin B1, to thiamine pyrophosphate (TDP, or TPP). There is no difference in TPK1 expression in cultured fibroblasts from normal subjects or from patients with thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia. It can exsit as a dimer. Defects in TPK1 are the cause of thiamine metabolism dysfunction syndrome type 5, episodic encephalopathy type (THMD5).
