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] Expression Ubiquitous expression in placenta (RPKM 11.9), gall bladder (RPKM 10.1) and 25 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
