Description

ISYNA1 encodes inositol-3-phosphate synthase 1, the key enzyme catalyzing the conversion of glucose-6-phosphate to inositol-3-phosphate, the rate-limiting step in myo-inositol biosynthesis. Myo-inositol is a precursor for phosphatidylinositol and inositol phosphates, critical for cellular signaling, membrane structure, and osmoregulation.

Protein Summary

ISYNA1 is a 558-amino acid protein that functions as a homotetramer. It requires NAD+ and Zn2+ for catalytic activity. The enzyme is localized in the cytoplasm and is highly conserved across eukaryotes.
