IMPA1P Geneinositol(myo)-1(or 4)-monophosphatase 1 pseudogene |
SLC5A3 Genesolute carrier family 5 (sodium/myo-inositol cotransporter), member 3 Enables myo-inositol:sodium symporter activity; potassium channel regulator activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including inositol metabolic process; monosaccharide transmembrane transport; and myo-inositol import across plasma membrane. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of protein localization to membrane; positive regulation of reactive oxygen species biosynthetic process; and regulation of respiratory gaseous exchange. Located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm and plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025] |
MIOXP1 Genemyo-inositol oxygenase pseudogene 1 |
IMPA1 Geneinositol(myo)-1(or 4)-monophosphatase 1 This gene encodes an enzyme that dephosphorylates myo-inositol monophosphate to generate free myo-inositol, a precursor of phosphatidylinositol, and is therefore an important modulator of intracellular signal transduction via the production of the second messengers myoinositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. This enzyme can also 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. This enzyme shows magnesium-dependent phosphatase activity and is inhibited by therapeutic concentrations of lithium. Inhibition of inositol monophosphate hydroylosis and subsequent depletion of inositol for phosphatidylinositol synthesis may explain the anti-manic and anti-depressive effects of lithium administered to treat bipolar disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. A pseudogene of this gene is also present on chromosome 8q21.13. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014] |
IMPA2 Geneinositol(myo)-1(or 4)-monophosphatase 2 This locus encodes an inositol monophosphatase. The encoded protein catalyzes the dephosphoylration of inositol monophosphate and plays an important role in phosphatidylinositol signaling. This locus may be associated with susceptibility to bipolar disorder. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011] |
MIOX Genemyo-inositol oxygenase Enables ferric iron binding activity and inositol oxygenase activity. Involved in inositol catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and inclusion body. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025] |
