Inositol monophosphatase 1 (IMPA1) and 2 (IMPA2) homodimers dephosphorylate inositol 3-phosphate (I3P) to inositol (Ins). In vitro, IMPA1 and 2 differ in their pH optima and IMPA1 has a significantly greater activity on IP4 than does IMPA2 (Ohnishi et al. 2007).

Inositol monophosphatase 1 (IMPA1) and 2 (IMPA2) homodimers dephosphorylate inositol 1-phosphate (I1P) to inositol (Ins). In vitro, IMPA1 and 2 differ in their pH optima and IMPA1 has a significantly greater activity on IP4 than does IMPA2 (McAllister et al. 1992, Ohnishi et al. 2007).
Inositol phosphates IP2, IP and the six-carbon cyclic alcohol inositol (Ins) are produced by various phosphatases and the inositol-3-phosphate synthase 1 (ISYNA1) (Ju et al. 2004, Ohnishi et al. 2007, Irvine & Schell 2001, Bunney & Katan 2010).
