High impact information on myo-inositol-1-monophosphatase

  • Both behavioral and localization defects in ttx-7 mutants were rescued by expression of IMPase in adults and by inositol application, and the same defects were mimicked by lithium treatment in wild-type animals [1].
  • In a screen for thermotaxis mutants, we identified the gene ttx-7, which encodes myo-inositol monophosphatase (IMPase), an inositol-producing enzyme regarded as a bipolar disorder-relevant molecule for its lithium sensitivity [1].
  • These results suggest that IMPase is required in central interneurons of the mature nervous system for correct localization of synaptic components and thus for normal behavior [1].
