PI4KII phosphorylates PtdIns at the D-4 position, an essential step in the biosynthesis of PtdInsPs (Barylko et al., 2001 [PubMed 11244087]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":55361,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/55361","proteins":[{"symbol":"P4K2A_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/P4K2A_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[]}
