Inositol oxygenase is a non-heme di-iron enzyme which oxidizes myo-inositol to glucuronic acid.[1] It will also oxidize the less abundant chiro isomer of inositol.[2] This enzyme is part of the only known pathway for the catabolism of inositol in humans.[3] It is expressed mostly in the kidneys.[4][5] Depletion of Inositol Oxygenase and accumulation of polyols, such as inositol and xylitol, have been cited as contributing factors in complications associated with diabetes.[6]
