IMPA2, Human

(Inositol monophosphatase 2, IMP 2, IMPase 2, Inositol-1(or 4)-monophosphatase 2, Myo-inositol monophosphatase A2, IMPA2, IMP.18P.)

IMPA2 is a member of the inositol monophosphatase family. IMPA2 catalyzes the dephosphoylration of inositol monophosphate and has a significant role in phosphatidylinositol signaling. IMPA2 can use the myo-inositol monophosphates, scylloinositol 1,4-diphosphate, glucose-1-phosphate, beta-glycerophosphate, and 2'-AMP as substrates. IMPA2 is a pharmacological target for lithium Li(+) action in brain. IMPA2 is considered to have a role in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
