Function | Inositol phosphate kinase with a broad substrate specificity (PubMed:12027805, PubMed:12223481, PubMed:28882892, PubMed:30420721, PubMed:30624931). 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) (PubMed:12027805, PubMed:12223481, PubMed:28882892, PubMed:30624931). Phosphorylates inositol 1,3,4,6-tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,6)P4) (PubMed:12223481). 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 (PubMed:28882892, PubMed:30420721). 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 (PubMed:29883610). 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). |

Background
Inositol phosphate kinase with a broad substrate specificity. Has a preference for inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) and inositol 1,3,4,6-tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,6)P4) (PubMed:12027805, PubMed:12223481). Plays an important role in MLKL-mediated necroptosis. Produces highly phosphorylated inositol phosphates such as inositolhexakisphosphate (InsP6) which bind to MLKL mediating the release of an N-terminal auto-inhibitory region leading to its activation. Essential for activated phospho-MLKL to oligomerize and localize to the cell membrane during necroptosis (PubMed:29883610).
