Recombinant Human Inositol Monophosphatase 1/IMPA1/IIMPase 2 (N-6His)

Source: E.coli. MW :32.3kD. Recombinant Human Inositol Monophosphatase 1 is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Asp277 is expressed with a 6His tag at the N-terminus. Inositol Monophosphatase 1 (IMPA1) belongs to the inositol monophosphatase family. IMPA1 is responsible for the provision of inositol required for synthesis of phosphatidylinositol and polyphosphoinositides, IMPA1 can use myo-inositol-1,3-diphosphate, myo-inositol-1,4-diphosphate, scyllo-inositol-phosphate, glucose-1-phosphate, glucose-6-phosphate, fructose-1-phosphate, beta-glycerophosphate, and 2-AMP as substrates. IMPA1 has been implicated as the pharmacological target for lithium action in brain. IMPA1 shows magnesium-dependent phosphatase activity and is inhibited by therapeutic concentrations of lithium. In addition, IMPA1 plays a improtant role in intracellular signal transduction.
