Comparative homology modelling of this enzyme in L. donovani(英語:L. donovani) suggest that among all of the computationally screened compounds, pentamidine(英語: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(英語: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]
