Full name: phosphatidylinositol transfer protein, alpha

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: Pitpn; vb; vibrator

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 by phosphoinositide-3-kinase. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
