Abstract
Bovine inositol monophosphatase (IMP) and several homologous proteins were found to share two sequence motifs with bovine inositol polyphosphate 1-phosphatase (IPP). These motifs may correspond to binding sites within IMP and IPP for inositol phosphates or for lithium, since both substances are bound by these proteins. This suggests that the proteins homologous to IMP, which have diverse biological roles but whose function is not clear, may act by enhancing the synthesis or degradation of phosphorylated compounds.Keywords
