Inosine triphosphate pyrophosphatase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ITPA gene,[5][6] by the rdgB gene in bacteria E.coli[7] and the HAM1 gene in yeast S. cerevisiae.[8] Two transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. Also, at least two other transcript variants have been identified which are probably regulatory rather than protein-coding.[citation needed]

Function[]

The protein encoded by this gene hydrolyzes inosine triphosphate and deoxyinosine triphosphate to the monophosphate nucleotide and diphosphate.[6] The enzyme possesses a multiple substrate-specificity and acts on other nucleotides including xanthosine triphosphate and deoxyxanthosine triphosphate.[8] The encoded protein, which is a member of the HAM1 NTPase protein family, is found in the cytoplasm and acts as a homodimer.

Clinical significance[]

Defects in the encoded protein can result in inosine triphosphate pyrophosphorylase deficiency.[6] The enzyme ITPase dephosphorylates ribavirin triphosphate in vitro to ribavirin monophosphate, and ITPase reduced enzymatic activity present in 30 % of humans potentiates mutagenesis in hepatitis C virus.[9] Gene variants predicting reduced predicted ITPase activity have been associated with decreased risk of ribavirin-induced anemia, increased risk of thrombocytopenia, lower ribavirin concentrations, as well as a ribavirin-like reduced relapse risk following interferon-based therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 2 or 3 infection.
