Gene: IPPK

Alternate names for this Gene: C9orf12|INSP5K2|IP5K|IPK1|bA476B13.1

Gene 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 9

Location in Chromosome : 9q22.31

Description of this Gene: inositol-pentakisphosphate 2-kinase

Type of Gene: protein-coding
