Anti-PPA2

The protein encoded by this gene is localized to the mitochondrion, is highly similar to members of the inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase) family, and contains the signature sequence essential for the catalytic activity of PPase. PPases catalyze the hydrolysis of pyrophosphate to inorganic phosphate, which is important for the phosphate metabolism of cells. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. Protein function: Hydrolyzes inorganic pyrophosphate (PubMed:27523597). This activity is essential for correct regulation of mitochondrial membrane potential, and mitochondrial organization and function (PubMed:27523598). [The UniProt Consortium]
