Characteristics of the protein coding sequence
imidazoleglycerin-phosphate-dehydratase (IGPD)
EN
The enzyme imidazoleglycerol-phosphate dehydratase (IGPD) catalyses the conversion of imidazoleglycerol-phosphate to imidazoleacetol-phosphate which is a critical step in the histidine biosynthesis pathway.

It is used in research as a bacterial selection marker, whereby mutations cause histidine auxotrophy and sensitivity to Cu, Co, and Ni salts.
