General Comments
PNP is required for the recycling of nucleosides and deoxynucleosides. In humans, PNP is the only route for degradation of deoxyguanosine. T cells are sensitive to deficiencies of this enzyme, and genetic deficiency of PNP causes loss of T cell function from birth and leads to significant immunodeficiency [3].
