EC 2.7.1.158

Accepted name: inositol-pentakisphosphate 2-kinase

Reaction: ATP + 1D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate = ADP + 1D-myo-inositol hexakisphosphate

Other name(s): IP5 2-kinase; Gsl1p; Ipk1p; Plc1p; inositol polyphosphate kinase; inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate 2-kinase; Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5 2-kinase

Systematic name: ATP:1D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate 2-phosphotransferase

Comments: The enzyme can also use Ins(1,4,5,6)P4 [2] and Ins(1,4,5)P3 [3] as substrate. Inositol hexakisphosphate (phytate) accumulates in storage protein bodies during seed development and, when hydrolysed, releases stored nutrients to the developing seedling before the plant is capable of absorbing nutrients from its environment [5].
