Target/Specificity | This PI4K2A antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 387-415 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human PI4K2A. |
Dilution | WB~~1:2000 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | PI4K2A Antibody (C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | PI4K2A |
---|---|
Function | Membrane-bound phosphatidylinositol-4 kinase (PI4-kinase) that catalyzes the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol (PI) to phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P), a lipid that plays important roles in endocytosis, Golgi function, protein sorting and membrane trafficking and is required for prolonged survival of neurons. Besides, phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol (PI) to phosphatidylinositol 4- phosphate (PI4P) is the first committed step in the generation of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), a precursor of the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3). |

Presynaptic cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q2TBE6}. Synapse, synaptosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q2TBE6}. Mitochondrion {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q2TBE6}. Endosome. Endosome membrane. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Membrane; Lipid-anchor. Cell membrane. Perikaryon {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q2TBE6}. Cell projection, neuron projection {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q2TBE6}. Note=Found in subdomains of the plasma membrane termed non-caveolar membrane rafts. Transported from neuronal cell body to neuron projections and neurite tips in a BLOC-1- and AP-3- complexes-dependent manner. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q2TBE6} |
Tissue Location | Widely expressed. Highest expression is observed in kidney, brain, heart, skeletal muscle, and placenta and lowest expression is observed in colon, thymus, and small intestine |

Background
Phosphatidylinositolpolyphosphates (PtdInsPs) are centrally involved in many biologic processes, ranging from cell growth and organization of the actin cytoskeleton to endo- and exocytosis. PI4KII phosphorylates PtdIns at the D-4 position, an essential step in the biosynthesis of PtdInsPs (Barylko et al., 2001 [PubMed 11244087]).
