Gene information for IP6K2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID51447
Official gene symbolIP6K2
Full nameinositol hexakisphosphate kinase 2
Aliases,IHPK2,PiUS,
Gene summaryThis 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 and affect the growth suppressive and apoptotic activities of interferon-beta in some ovarian cancers. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
