High impact information on MIPS
- The GmMIPS1 expression pattern suggested that it encodes a MIPS isoform that functions in seeds to generate D-myo-inositol-3-phosphate as a substrate for phytic acid biosynthesis [1].
- Southern-blot analysis and database searches indicated the presence of at least four MIPS genes in the soybean genome [1].
- D-myo-inositol-3-phosphate synthase (MIPS EC 5.5.1.4) catalyzes the first step in de novo synthesis of myo-inositol [1].
Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of MIPS
- Northern-blot and immunoblot analyses indicated higher MIPS expression and accumulation in immature seeds than in other soybean tissues [1].
