Comparative homology modelling of this enzyme in L. donovani(英语:L. donovani) suggest that among all of the computationally screened compounds, pentamidine(英语:pentamidine), 1,3-dinitroadamantane, acyclovir and analogs of acyclovir had higher binding affinities than the real substrate (guanosine monophosphate).[3]
HPRT expression on the mRNA and protein level is induced by hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF1A(英语:HIF1A)). HIF-1 is a transcription factor that directs an array of cellular responses that are used for adaptation during oxygen deprivation. This finding implies that HPRT is a critical pathway that helps preserve the cell's purine nucleotide resources under hypoxic conditions as found in pathology such as myocardial ischemia.[6]
Hybridoma(英语:Hybridoma)s are immortal (immune to cellular senescence(英语:cellular senescence)), HGPRT+ cells that result from fusion of mortal, HGPRT+plasma cells and immortal, HGPRT−myeloma cells. They are created to produce monoclonal antibodies in biotechnology. HAT medium(英语:HAT medium) inhibits de novo synthesis of nucleic acids, killing myeloma cells that cannot switch over to the salvage pathway, due to lack of HRPT1. The plasma cells in the culture eventually die from senesence, leaving pure hybridoma cells.
