Comment typeDescription
Biophysicochemical PropertiesKinetic parameters: KM=0.43 uM for Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5 ; KM=21 uM for ATP ; Vmax=31 nmol/min/mg enzyme ;
Catalytic ActivityATP + 1D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5,6- pentakisphosphate = ADP + 1D-myo-inositol hexakisphosphate.
DomainThe EXKPK motif is conserved in inositol-pentakisphosphate 2-kinases of both family 1 and 2.
FunctionPhosphorylates Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5 at position 2 to form Ins(1,2,3,4,5,6)P6 (InsP6 or phytate). InsP6 is involved in many processes such as mRNA export, non-homologous end-joining, endocytosis, ion channel regulation. It also protects cells from TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis. {ECO
