General description

PIP5K1B (phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase, type I, beta) is a member of the phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase family. PIP5K1B gene contains 17 exons and spans more than 300 kb. The seventeenth exon was found by RT-PCR, and are derived from the 3-prime untranslated region of the PRKACG gene which is located on 9q13 approximately 3 kb downstream of the STM7.I 3-prime untranslated region.The overexpression of PIP5K1B in COS-7 cells induces an increase in short actin fibers and a decrease in actin stress fibers.
