Description
IMPA1 (Inositol Monophosphatase 1) is a Protein Coding gene. This gene encodes an enzyme that dephosphorylates Myo-inositol monophosphate to generate free Myo-inositol, a precursor of phosphatidylinositol, and is, therefore, an important modulator of intracellular signal transduction via the production of the second messenger's myoinositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. Despite its many physiological functions, no clinical phenotype has been assigned to this gene dysfunction to date. Additionally, IMPA1 is the main target of lithium, a drug that is at the forefront of treatment for bipolar disorder. IMPA1 is widely expressed in the testis, thyroid, and other tissues. Diseases associated with IMPA1 include Mental Retardation, Autosomal Recessive 59, and Bipolar Disorder
