Gene: PPIP5K1

Alternate names for this Gene: HISPPD2A|IP6K|IPS1|VIP1|hsVIP1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a dual functional inositol kinase. The encoded enzyme converts inositol hexakisphosphate to diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate and diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate to bis-diphosphoinositol tetrakisphosphate. This protein may be important for intracellular signaling pathways. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 15.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 15

Location in Chromosome : 15q15.3

Description of this Gene: diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate kinase 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
