Description

IMP Dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of inosine monophosphate (IMP) to xanthosine monophosphate (XMP) in the purine nucleotide synthesis pathway. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the regulation of nucleotide levels and is important for cellular metabolism.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that IMP Dehydrogenase may be referred to in various ways in clinical settings, but it is essential to use the canonical term 'Deshidrogenasa del Ácido Inosínico' in formal contexts. Avoid colloquial terms that may arise, as they can lead to confusion in medical discussions.

Example Sentences

EN: The inhibition of IMP Dehydrogenase can lead to decreased purine synthesis and affect cell proliferation.

ES: La inhibición de la Deshidrogenasa del Ácido Inosínico puede llevar a una disminución de la síntesis de purinas y afectar la proliferación celular.

Common Interpreter Mistakes

Confusing 'IMP' with 'AMP'; mispronouncing 'deshidrogenasa' as 'deshidratasa'; using informal terms instead of the canonical term.
