Most cancer tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining with additional nuclear positivity in few cases. A few liver and ovarian cancers were strongly stained.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
IP6K2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
IHPK2
Description
Inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the inositol phosphokinase (IPK) family. This protein is likely responsible for the conversion of inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) to diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (InsP7/PP-InsP5). It may also convert 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate (InsP5) to PP-InsP4 and affect the growth suppressive and apoptotic activities of interferon-beta in some ovarian cancers. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
