IMPA3 Protein, Mouse, Recombinant (His)

IMPAD1 protein (IMPA3, gPAPP or IMPase 3) belongs to the inositol monophosphatase family. It is found in Purkinje cells, brain stem, lung and chondrocytes. Mouse IMPAD1 gene encodes a type II transmembrane Golgi-embedded glycoprotein with 356 amino acid residues which generates a 306 amino acid residues mature protein after processing. It is expressed in embryo, and in theory may catalyze myo-inositol monophosphate to myo-inositol. Free myo-inositol is used to generate inositol phospholipid, an essential component of intracellular signaling pathways that mobilize calcium. Mouse IMPAD1 exhibits 91% sequence identity with the human homologue.
