11 - 2895 - 272 both PITPNB variants localize to the Golgi 2006 16780419
  • variant (sp2)
  • the C-terminal 15 amino acids of PITPNB-sp1 are replaced by an alternative C-terminus of 16 amino acids
  • is a product of the first 10 exons followed by the twelfth exon--exon 11 being 'skipped'
  • lacks the constitutively phosphorylated Ser262 (replaced with glutamine)
    • 12 - 2981 - 271 both PITPNB variants localize to the Golgi 2006 16780419

    text
  • localise to the Golgi and ER
    • basic FUNCTION
  • catalyzing the transfer of PTDINS and phosphatidylcholine between membranes
  • essential protein that possesses phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) and phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) lipid transfer activity, and PtdIns and PtdCho exchange activity of PITPNB is essential for COPI-mediated retrograde transport from the Golgi to the ER
  • is essential and is required for retrograde traffic from the Golgi to the endoplasmic reticulum and for maintenance of the nuclear architecture
  • PITPNM1, PITPNM2, PITPNM3, PITPNA, PITPNB, PITPNC1 are regulators of phosphoinositide pathways by recruitment to membranes through specific protein interactions to promote molecular exchange between closely opposed membranes i.e., at membrane contact sites
