Common NameInosine
DescriptionInosine, also known as hypoxanthosine or panholic-L, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as purine nucleosides. Purine nucleosides are compounds comprising a purine base attached to a ribosyl or deoxyribosyl moiety. Inosine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a moderately basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Inosine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Inosine is a potentially toxic compound.

General function:
Nucleotide transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Catalyzes the hydrolytic deamination of adenosine and 2-deoxyadenosine (By similarity). Plays an important role in purine metabolism and in adenosine homeostasis (By similarity). Modulates signaling by extracellular adenosine, and so contributes indirectly to cellular signaling events (By similarity). Acts as a positive regulator of T-cell coactivation, by binding DPP4 (By similarity). Its interaction with DPP4 regulates lymphocyte-epithelial cell adhesion (By similarity). Enhances dendritic cell immunogenicity by affecting dendritic cell costimulatory molecule expression and cytokines and chemokines secretion (PubMed:23240012). Enhances CD4+ T-cell differentiation and proliferation (By similarity). Acts as a positive modulator of adenosine receptors ADORA1 and ADORA2A, by enhancing their ligand affinity via conformational change (By similarity). Stimulates plasminogen activation (By similarity). Plays a role in male fertility (By similarity). Plays a protective role in early postimplantation embryonic development (By similarity).
