Abstract excerpt
We have cloned, sequenced, and expressed a human cDNA encoding 1-d-myo-inositol-3-phosphate (MIP) synthase (hINO1). The encoded 62-kDa human enzyme converted d-glucose 6-phosphate to 1-d-myo-inositol 3-phosphate, the rate-limiting step for de novo inositol biosynthesis. Activity of the recombinant human MIP synthase purified from Escherichia coli was optimal at pH 8.0 at 37 degrees C and exhibited K(m) values of...
