Human Inositol monophosphatase 1 / IMPA1 ELISA Kit

Inositol monophosphatase 1/IMPA1 codes for an enzyme that dephosphorylates myo-inositol monophosphate to produce free myo-inositol, a precursor of phosphatidylinositol, and is thus an important modulator of intracellular signalling via the production of the second messengers myoinositol 1,4,5-triphosphate and diacylglycerol. IMPA1 has phosphatase activity that is reliant on magnesium and is inhibited by therapeutic lithium doses. The anti-manic and anti-depressive effects of lithium used to treat bipolar disorder could be explained by inhibiting inositol monophosphate hydroylosis and subsequent depletion of inositol for phosphatidylinositol production. Pseudogene FOR IMPA1 can also be found on chromosome 8q21.13. Mental Retardation, Autosomal Recessive 59, and Bipolar Disorder are all diseases linked to IMPA1.
