Full name: phosphatidylinositol transfer protein cytoplasmic 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: M-RDGB-beta; MRDGBbeta; RDGB-BETA; RDGBB; RDGBB1

Summary: This gene encodes a member of the phosphatidylinositol transfer protein family. The encoded cytoplasmic protein plays a role in multiple processes including cell signaling and lipid metabolism by facilitating the transfer of phosphatidylinositol between membrane compartments. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene, and a pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 1.
