INPP5K inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase K

Gene ID: 51763, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PPS; SKIP; MDCCAID

Summary

This gene encodes a protein with 5-phosphatase activity toward polyphosphate inositol. The protein localizes to the cytosol in regions lacking actin stress fibers. It is thought that this protein may negatively regulate the actin cytoskeleton. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
