IPPK inositol-pentakisphosphate 2-kinase

Gene ID: 64768, updated on 18-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: IP5K; IPK1; C9orf12; INSP5K2; bA476B13.1

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a kinase that phosphorylates position 2 of inositol-1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate to form inositol-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate (InsP6). InsP6 has a variety of functions, including stimulation of DNA repair, endocytosis, and mRNA export. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
