Pip4k2c Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables 1-phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate biosynthetic process; negative regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of autophagosome assembly. Predicted to be located in autophagosome; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human PIP4K2C (phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinase type 2 gamma).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Pip4k2c often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
