Anti-ISYNA1

This gene encodes an inositol-3-phosphate synthase enzyme. The encoded protein plays a critical role in the myo-inositol biosynthesis pathway by catalyzing the rate-limiting conversion of glucose 6-phosphate to myoinositol 1-phosphate. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene, and a pseudogene of this gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 4. Protein function: Key enzyme in myo-inositol biosynthesis pathway that catalyzes the conversion of glucose 6-phosphate to 1-myo-inositol 1- phosphate in a NAD-dependent manner (PubMed:15024000, PubMed:23902760). Rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of all inositol-containing compounds (PubMed:15024000). [The UniProt Consortium]
