Human Methylthioribose-1-phosphate isomerase (MRI1) ELISA Kit

MRI1 (Methylthioribose-1-Phosphate Isomerase 1) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with MRI1 include Spinal Cord Melanoma and Visual Agnosia. Among its related pathways are Metabolism and Sulfur amino acid metabolism. GO annotations related to this gene include identical protein binding and S-methyl-5-thioribose-1-phosphate isomerase activity. 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).
