Description

INPP5K encodes a member of the inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase family that hydrolyzes the 5-phosphate from inositol polyphosphates and phosphoinositides, including phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. The protein plays a role in actin cytoskeleton organization, cell migration, and insulin signaling. Mutations in INPP5K cause autosomal recessive congenital muscular dystrophy with intellectual disability and cataracts.

Protein Summary

INPP5K is a 448-amino acid protein containing a 5-phosphatase domain. It localizes to the cytosol and plasma membrane, where it dephosphorylates PI(4,5)P2 and IP3, regulating cellular signaling. The protein is highly expressed in skeletal muscle and brain, consistent with its role in muscle and neurological function.
