PITPNA phosphatidylinositol transfer protein alpha [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 5306)

Symbol: PITPNA

Full name: phosphatidylinositol transfer protein alpha

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: HEL-S-36; PI-TPalpha; PITPN; VIB1A

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.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Expression: Ubiquitous expression in brain (RPKM 31.8), thyroid (RPKM 27.9) and 25 other tissues

Orthologs: mouse

Gene size: 45075bp

Exon count: 13
