Pip4k2b Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable phosphatidylinositol kinase activity; protein homodimerization activity; and purine ribonucleoside triphosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate biosynthetic process; autophagosome-lysosome fusion; and positive regulation of autophagosome assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within phosphatidylinositol metabolic process. Predicted to be located in autophagosome and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human PIP4K2B (phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinase type 2 beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Pip4k2b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
