View source for Phosphatase Subfamily PPIP5K

[[Phosphatase classification|Phosphatase Classification]]: [[Phosphatase_Fold_HP|Fold HP]]: [[Phosphatase_Superfamily_HP|Superfamily HP]] (histidine phosphatase): [[Phosphatase_Family_HP2|Family HP, branch 2]]: [[Phosphatase_Subfamily_PPIP5K|PPIP5K]]


=== Evolution ===
PPIP5K is conserved across [[Phosphatase_Glossary#Opisthokont|opisthokont]]. Human genome has three copies.


=== Functions ===

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.
