Bifunctional purine biosynthesis protein PURH is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ATIC gene.^[1]^[2]^[3]

ATIC encodes an enzyme which generates inosine monophosphate from aminoimidazole carboxamide ribonucleotide.

It has two functions:

EC 2.1.2.3 - 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase
EC 3.5.4.10 - IMP cyclohydrolase
