BPNT2 3'(2'), 5'-bisphosphate nucleotidase 2

Gene ID: 54928, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GPAPP; IMP 3; IMP-3; IMPA3; IMPAD1

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the inositol monophosphatase family. The encoded protein is localized to the Golgi apparatus and catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphoadenosine phosphate (PAP) to adenosine monophosphate (AMP). Mutations in this gene are a cause of GRAPP type chondrodysplasia with joint dislocations, and a pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 1. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
