    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • a N-terminal PITP-like domain
  • several potential protein kinase A/C phosphorylation sites
  • a PITP domain followed by a C-terminal extension of 60 amino acids
  • C-terminus contains two tandem phosphorylated binding sites (Ser(274) and Ser(299)) for 14-3-3, and also contains PEST sequences which are shielded by 14-3-3 binding

    basic FUNCTION
  • transfers phosphatidylinositol from one mebrane compartment to one another
  • likely implicated in the maintenance of diacylglycerol (DAG) levels and secretory function at Golgi membranes (pMID: 17543578)
  • executes likely its function following recruitment to membranes via its PITP domain and the C-terminal end of the protein could regulate entry to the hydrophobic cavity
  • participate in many cellular processes including cell signaling, membrane traffic, and lipid metabolism
  • when containing phosphatidic acid (PA), regulates an effector protein or can facilitate lipid transfer between membrane compartments
  • 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
  • is a PI4P-binding protein that enhances vesicular secretion capacity in malignancy
