Description

IP6K1 (Inositol Hexakisphosphate Kinase 1) is a protein-coding gene that encodes an enzyme responsible for the conversion of inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) to diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (IP7). This kinase plays a critical role in cellular signaling, including insulin secretion, phosphate homeostasis, and energy metabolism. IP6K1 is implicated in various diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders.

Protein Summary

The IP6K1 protein (UniProt Q9Y2I7) is a 459-amino acid inositol hexakisphosphate kinase that catalyzes the phosphorylation of IP6 to IP7. It contains an N-terminal kinase domain and is localized to both the nucleus and cytoplasm. IP6K1 regulates cellular phosphate and energy homeostasis, and its dysregulation is linked to metabolic and neurological diseases.
