OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a phosphatidylinositol (PI) 4-kinase which catalyzes the first committed step in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. The mammalian PI 4-kinases have been classified into two types, II and III, based on their molecular mass, and modulation by detergent and adenosine. The protein encoded by this gene is a type III enzyme that is not inhibited by adenosine. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PI4KA can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads PI4KA as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PI4KA could matter depends on whether native PI4KA is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PI4KA is annotated at the cell surface, where native PI4KA is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label PI4KA as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
