Ternary complex of the human type II Inosine Monophosphate Dedhydrogenase with 6Cl-IMP and NADTernary complex of the human type II Inosine Monophosphate Dedhydrogenase with 6Cl-IMP and NAD
Structural highlights
1nfb is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
IMDH2_HUMAN Catalyzes the conversion of inosine 5'-phosphate (IMP) to xanthosine 5'-phosphate (XMP), the first committed and rate-limiting step in the de novo synthesis of guanine nucleotides, and therefore plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth. Could also have a single-stranded nucleic acid-binding activity and could play a role in RNA and/or DNA metabolism. It may also have a role in the development of malignancy and the growth progression of some tumors.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_03156]
