ID:PI4KA_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase alpha; Short=PI4-kinase alpha; Short=PI4K-alpha; Short=PtdIns-4-kinase alpha; EC=2.7.1.67; FUNCTION: Acts on phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) in the first committed step in the production of the second messenger inositol- 1,4,5,-trisphosphate. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol = ADP + 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol 4-phosphate. ENZYME REGULATION: This is a type II PtdIns-4-kinase activated by detergents such as triton and inhibited by adenosine. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed ubiquitously. Highest levels in placenta and brain. Little or no expression in lung, liver, pancreas, testis or leukocytes. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the PI3/PI4-kinase family. Type III PI4K subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 PI3K/PI4K domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 PIK helical domain.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.
SCOP Domains: 48371 - ARM repeat 56112 - Protein kinase-like (PK-like) 56399 - ADP-ribosylation

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
