Protein
Inosine-5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase
Organism
Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans serotype D (strain JEC21 / ATCC MYA-565)
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.
Similarity
Belongs to the IMPDH/GMPR family.
