| Tissue Specificity | IMPDH1 is the main species in normal leukocytes and IMPDH2 predominates over IMPDH1 in the tumor. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Ubiquitinated leading to its degradation by the proteasome. The N-terminus is blocked. Acetylated by CLOCK in a circadian manner. |
| Function | 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. |
