PITPNC1: Lysates

PITPNC1, also known as Cytoplasmic phosphatidylinositol transfer protein 1, has a 332 amino acid long isoform that is 38 kDa and a short 268 amino acid isoform that is 32 kDa, with cytoplasmatic subcellular location, ubiquitously expressed, mediates the monomeric transport of lipids by shielding a lipid from the aqueous environment and binding the lipid in a hydrophobic cavity, able to transfer phosphatidylinositol in vitro. This protein is currently being studied for research on retinal degeneration and retinitis. Interactions with the PITPNC1 protein have been shown to involve AGTRAP and UBC in transport and signal transduction processes.
