When Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 was incubated with a rat liver 100,000 g supernatant, about 93% of the substrate was metabolized by a 5-phosphatase, and only 7% by a 3-phosphatase. Ion-exchange chromatography of the supernatant specifically increased its 3-phosphatase activity 72 +/- 3-fold. This activated enzyme was inhibited by a heat-stable factor present in both the soluble and particulate portions of the cell.

D000072181	Inositol Polyphosphate 5-Phosphatases	Phosphoinositide phosphatases that catalyze the removal of the 5' phosphate from INOSITOL 1,4,5-TRISPHOSPHATE or myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate, resulting in inositol 1,4-bisphosphate and phosphate. They have important functions in the metabolism of INOSITOL PHOSPHATES and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate signaling pathways such as CALCIUM SIGNALING.	1,4,5-Triphosphate-1,2,4,5-Tetrakisphosphate 5-Phosphatase,Inositol 5-Phosphatase,Inositol Polyphosphate 5-Phosphatase,Inositol Triphosphate 5-Phosphatase,Inositol-1,4,5-Trisphosphate 5'-Phosphatase,Inositol-1,4,5-Trisphosphate 5-Phosphatase,Inositol-Polyphosphate 5-Phosphatase,Ins(1,4,5)P3 5'-Phosphatase,Inositol 5 Phosphatase,Inositol Polyphosphate 5 Phosphatase,Inositol Polyphosphate 5 Phosphatases,Inositol Triphosphate 5 Phosphatase
