MRI1 methylthioribose-1-phosphate isomerase 1

Gene ID: 84245, updated on 6-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: M1Pi; MRDI; MTNA; Ypr118w

Summary

This enzyme functions in the methionine salvage pathway by catalyzing the interconversion of methylthioribose-1-phosphate and methythioribulose-1-phosphate. Elevated expression of the encoded protein is associated with metastatic melanoma and this protein promotes melanoma cell invasion independent of its enzymatic activity. Mutations in this gene may be associated with vanishing white matter disease (VMWD). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
