Using a consensus sequence in inositol phosphate kinase, we have identified and cloned a 44-kDa mammalian inositol phosphate kinase with broader catalytic capacities than any other member of the family and which we designate mammalian inositol phosphate multikinase (mIPMK). By phosphorylating inositol 4,5-bisphosphate, mIPMK provides an alternative biosynthesis for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P(3)]. mIPMK also can form the pyrophosphate disphosphoinositol tetrakisphosphate (PP-InsP(4 ...[more]
