PI4KAP2

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Ideogram human chromosome 22

Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase alpha polypeptide 2 (PI4KAP2), also known as C20orf6, is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 20 in humans. This gene encodes a protein that plays a role in the regulation of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase activity.

Function[edit]

PI4KAP2 is involved in the regulation of phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase, an enzyme that phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol to generate phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate. This phosphorylation event is crucial for various cellular processes, including membrane trafficking and signal transduction.

Structure[edit]

The PI4KAP2 gene encodes a protein with a conserved domain that interacts with phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase. This interaction is essential for the proper functioning of the enzyme and its regulation within the cell.

Clinical Significance[edit]

Mutations in the PI4KAP2 gene have been associated with certain diseases and disorders, although further research is needed to fully understand the implications of these genetic variations on human health.
