Gene:
pyrophosphatase (inorganic)
Gene ID:
190065
Symbol:
PP
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) family. PPases catalyze the hydrolysis of pyrophosphate to inorganic phosphate, which is important for the phosphate metabolism of cells. Studies of a similar protein in bovine suggested a cytoplasmic localization of this enzyme.
