The protein has a mass of approximately 230 kDa. PI4KA is expressed broadly with significant levels in the brain heart and other tissues. It plays an important role as a regulator of cellular lipid metabolism and intracellular signaling.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nPI4KA functions in the context of membrane dynamics and acts as part of a multi-subunit complex. This protein is important in maintaining the proper lipid composition of the Golgi apparatus and other organelles which is essential for vesicle trafficking. By generating PI4P PI4KA serves as an important mediator in the distribution and dynamics of cellular membranes aiding in various cellular processes including endocytosis and autophagy. Its activity impacts several downstream signaling pathways and cellular activities.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nPI4KA is a significant contributor to the phosphoinositide signaling pathway which plays an essential role in regulating intracellular processes. It interacts with phosphatidylinositol-45-bisphosphate (PIP2) and phospholipase C supporting the synthesis of further derivatives that modulate calcium influx and other cellular responses. Additionally PI4KA is involved in the maintenance and function of the secretory pathway where it coordinates with proteins such as Osh1 and CERT influencing lipid exchange and protein trafficking.\u003cbr\u003e\nPI4KA's dysfunction has been linked to neurological disorders and cancer. Alterations in its activity can contribute to conditions like neurodegenerative diseases due to disrupted membrane composition in neural tissues. Furthermore PI4KA's role in cancer is illuminated through its interaction with proteins like AKT where aberrant PI4P levels disrupt normal cell growth signals leading to oncogenesis. Understanding PI4KA's pathways and interactions is critical as they offer potential therapeutic targets for these diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854080495785,"sku":"ab111565","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab111565","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
