title: Thiamin triphosphate synthesis in animals.
abstract: All the evidence obtained indicates that the synthesis of TTP in vitro and in vivo is catalyzed by cytosolic adenylate kinase. Further studies should explore whether adenylate kinase is the only enzyme involved in TTP synthesis, together with physiological roles of TTP in living organisms.
