PPA2 inorganic pyrophosphatase 2

Gene ID: 27068, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SCFI; SCFAI; HSPC124; SID6-306

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is localized to the mitochondrion, is highly similar to members of the inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) family, and contains the signature sequence essential for the catalytic activity of PPase. PPases catalyze the hydrolysis of pyrophosphate to inorganic phosphate, which is important for the phosphate metabolism of cells. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
