PI4KA phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase alpha

Gene ID: 5297, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SPG84; GIDID2; PIK4CA; PMGYCHA; pi4K230; PI4K-ALPHA

Summary

This gene encodes a phosphatidylinositol (PI) 4-kinase which catalyzes the first committed step in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. The mammalian PI 4-kinases have been classified into two types, II and III, based on their molecular mass, and modulation by detergent and adenosine. The protein encoded by this gene is a type III enzyme that is not inhibited by adenosine. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
