    FAMILY
  • HAM1 NTPase protein family
  • CATEGORY enzyme
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the elimination of minor potentially mutagenic or clastogenic purine nucleotide triophosphates from the cell
  • nucleoside triphosphate pyrophosphatase that clean the precursor pools of the non-canonical triphosphates of inosine and xanthine
  • pivotal role of ITPA in maintaining genome stability and the prevention of apoptosis in human cells
  • is an intracellular enzyme that is responsible for the hydrolysis of the acidic anhydride bond between the alpha and beta phosphates in ITP, and other noncanonical nucleoside triphosphates, producing the corresponding nucleoside monophosphate and pyrophosphate
