Gene: IP6K3
Alternate names for this Gene: IHPK3|INSP6K3
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the inositol phosphokinase (IPK) family. This protein is likely responsible for the conversion of inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) to diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (InsP7/PP-InsP5). It may also convert 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate (InsP5) to PP-InsP4. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 6
Location in Chromosome : 6p21.31
Description of this Gene: inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 3
Type of Gene: protein-coding
