Invitrogen™ Human PI4K2B (PI4K2 beta), GST Tag Recombinant Protein

PI4K2B lipid kinase is a member of the phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase family (PI4K) that phosphorylate phosphatidylinositol to generate phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate which are immediate precursor of several important signaling and scaffolding molecules. PI4K2B is primarily a cytosolic PI4K that is recruited to membranes where it stimulates phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate syntheses. PI4K2B uses phosphatidylinositol as its primary substrate and has no activity on phosphatidylinositol monophosphates. PI4K2B is a restricted minor histocompatibility antigen in patients that had been successfully treated with donor lymphocyte infusions for relapsed chronic myeloid leukemia after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Phosphatidylinositol 4-kinases (PI4Ks) phosphorylate phosphatidylinositol to generate phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP), an immediate precursor of several important signaling and scaffolding molecules. PIP itself may also have direct functional and structural roles. PI4K2B is a primarily cytosolic PI4K that is recruited to membranes, where it stimulates phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate synthesis (Wei et al., 2002 ).
