Abstract excerpt
Myo-inositol monophosphatase (IMP) catalyzes the dephosphorylation of myo-inositol 3-phosphate in the last step of myo-inositol biosynthesis. IMP is also important in phosphate metabolism and is required for the biosynthesis of cell wall polysaccharides, phytic acid, and phosphatidylinositol. In Arabidopsis, IMP is encoded by VTC4. There are, however, two additional IMP candidate genes, IMPL1 and IMPL2, which...
