INPP5A inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase A

Gene ID: 3632, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: 5PTASE

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane-associated type I inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) 5-phosphatase. InsP3 5-phosphatases hydrolyze Ins(1,4,5)P3, which mobilizes intracellular calcium and acts as a second messenger mediating cell responses to various stimulation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
