Phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinase (PIPK) catalytic domain found in phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase type-1 gamma (PIP5K1gamma) and similar proteins
PIP5K1gamma(EC 2.7.1.68), also known as PtdIns(4)P-5-kinase 1 gamma, or PIP5K1gamma, or PIPKIgamma, or PtdInsPKI gamma, is a phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase that catalyzes the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns4P) to form phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2), which is involved in a variety of cellular processes and is the substrate to form phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3), another second messenger. PIP5K1gamma is required for epidermal growth factor (EGF)-stimulated directional cell migration. It also modulates adherens junction and E-cadherin trafficking via a direct interaction with mu 1B adaptin.
