PPA1( Human )
pyrophosphatase (inorganic) 1
Alias
HEL-S-66p|IOPPP|PP1|SID6-8061
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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
