Cytosolic ITPA dimer catalyzes the reaction of ITP and water to form IMP and PPi (pyrophosphate). Mg++ is required for enzymatic activity. The hydrolysis of ITP is thought to prevent its incorporation into mRNA, which would lead to aberrant protein synthesis (Lin et al. 2001; Abolhassani et al. 2010).
