General information
Name of the gene or DNA sequence
Imidazoleglycerol-phosphate dehydratase gene
Abbreviation
CS-his3-YEASX
Category of DNA sequence
  • Protein coding sequence
Is the gene / DNA sequence is a synthetic molecule?
No
Donor organism
Donor organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae - Yeast, YEASX
Characteristics of the protein coding sequence
Name of the protein expressed by the coding sequence
imidazoleglycerin-phosphate-dehydratase (IGPD)
Biological function
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.
