PPA1 inorganic pyrophosphatase 1

Gene ID: 5464, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PP; PP1; IOPPP; HEL-S-66p; SID6-8061

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) family. PPases catalyze the hydrolysis of pyrophosphate to inorganic phosphate, which is important for the phosphate metabolism of cells. Studies of a similar protein in bovine suggested a cytoplasmic localization of this enzyme. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
