Gene information for IMPDH2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3615
Official gene symbolIMPDH2
Full nameIMP (inosine 5'-monophosphate) dehydrogenase 2
Aliases,IMPD2,IMPDH-II,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes the rate-limiting enzyme in the de novo guanine nucleotide biosynthesis. It is thus involved in maintaining cellular guanine deoxy- and ribonucleotide pools needed for DNA and RNA synthesis. The encoded protein catalyzes the NAD-dependent oxidation of inosine-5'-monophosphate into xanthine-5'-monophosphate, which is then converted into guanosine-5'-monophosphate. This gene is up-regulated in some neoplasms, suggesting it may play a role in malignant transformation. [provided by RefSeq]
