gene: tpk-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable thiamine diphosphokinase activity. Predicted to be involved in thiamine diphosphate biosynthetic process. Expressed in body wall musculature and pharyngeal muscle cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in inherited metabolic disorder. Is an ortholog of human TPK1 (thiamin pyrophosphokinase 1).
