SKIP: Proteins and Enzymes

Inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase K encodes a protein with 5-phosphatase activity toward polyphosphate inositol. The protein localizes to the cytosol in regions lacking actin stress fibers. It is thought that this protein may negatively regulate the actin cytoskeleton. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
