Gene: PITPNA

Alternate names for this Gene: HEL-S-36|PI-TPalpha|PITPN|VIB1A

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of a family of lipid-binding proteins that transfer molecules of phosphatidylinositol or phosphatidylcholine between membrane surfaces. The protein is implicated in phospholipase C signaling and in the production of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3) by phosphoinositide-3-kinase.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17p13.3

Description of this Gene: phosphatidylinositol transfer protein alpha

Type of Gene: protein-coding
