IPMK — Inositol polyphosphate multikinase
IPMK belongs to a gene co-expression module in 1 of 28 SCUBA cell types. Each module groups genes that rise and fall together in that cell type; the genes it shares a module with are its closest co-expression partners there.

Function
Inositol phosphate kinase with a broad substrate specificity. Phosphorylates inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) first to inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate and then to inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5). Phosphorylates inositol 1,3,4,6-tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,6)P4). Phosphorylates inositol 1,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5,6)P4) (By similarity). Phosphorylates glycero-3-phospho-1D- myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate to glycero-3-phospho-1D-myo-inositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate. Plays an important role in MLKL-mediated necroptosis via its role in the biosynthesis of inositol pentakisphosphate (InsP5) and inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6). Binding of these highly phosphorylated inositol phosphates to MLKL mediates the release of an N-terminal auto- inhibitory region, leading to activation of the kinase. Essential for activated phospho-MLKL to oligomerize and localize to the cell membrane during necroptosis. Required for normal embryonic development, probably via its role in the biosynthesis of inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5) and inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) (By similarity).
