Ippk Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables inositol-1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate 2-kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in inositol phosphate biosynthetic process and positive regulation of transcription of nucleolar large rRNA by RNA polymerase I. Predicted to be located in nucleolus. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human IPPK (inositol-pentakisphosphate 2-kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Ippk often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
