Description
Recombinant Human Inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (ITPase) fragment (residues 2-194) is a high-purity, soluble protein designed for structural and biochemical studies. This stable fragment retains key functional domains, enabling research into non-canonical purine nucleotide hydrolysis and its role in maintaining genomic integrity.
Inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase (ITPase), encoded by the ITPA gene in Homo sapiens, is a cytoplasmic enzyme that hydrolyzes non-canonical purine nucleotides, including inosine triphosphate (ITP), deoxyinosine triphosphate (dITP), and xanthosine triphosphate (XTP), converting them to monophosphate derivatives. By excluding these aberrant nucleotides from RNA and DNA precursor pools, ITPase prevents their incorporation into nucleic acids, thereby safeguarding against chromosomal lesions and supporting genomic stability. This function underscores its importance in cellular nucleotide quality control and potential implications in disease mechanisms.
