inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase 1; IMP dehydrogenase 1; IMPD 1; IMPDH 1; IMPDH-I (IMPDH1, IMPD1)

Function
- rate limiting enzyme in the de novo synthesis of guanine nucleotides, thus role in regulation of cell growth
- may also have a role in the development of malignancy & the growth progression of some tumors
- purine metabolism; XMP biosynthesis via de novo pathway
- XMP from IMP: step 1/1
inosine 5'-phosphate + NAD+ + H2O = xanthosine 5'-phosphate + NADH
Structure
Alternative splicing
named isoforms=3
Expression
- IMP type 1 predominates in normal leukocytes
- IMP type 2 predominates over type 1 in tumors
Pathology
- defects in IMPDH1 are the cause of retinitis pigmentosa type 10
