PIKFyve Proteins and Enzymes

PIP5K3 belongs to a large family of lipid kinases that alter the phosphorylation status of intracellular phosphatidylinositol. Signaling by phosphorylated species of phosphatidylinositol regulates diverse cellular processes, including membrane trafficking and cytoskeletal reorganization (Shisheva et al., 1999 [PubMed 9858586]).[supplied by OMIM]
