Description: Homo sapiens CDP-diacylglycerol--inositol 3-phosphatidyltransferase (CDIPT), mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_006319): Phosphatidylinositol breakdown products are ubiquitous second messengers that function downstream of many G protein-coupled receptors and tyrosine kinases regulating cell growth, calcium metabolism, and protein kinase C activity. Two enzymes, CDP-diacylglycerol synthase and phosphatidylinositol synthase, are involved in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylinositol. Phosphatidylinositol synthase, a member of the CDP-alcohol phosphatidyl transferase class-I family, is an integral membrane protein found on the cytoplasmic side of the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2013]. Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr16:29,869,678-29,874,349 Size: 4,672 Total Exon Count: 5 Strand: - Coding Region Position: hg19 chr16:29,870,510-29,874,000 Size: 3,491 Coding Exon Count: 5
ID:CDIPT_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=CDP-diacylglycerol--inositol 3-phosphatidyltransferase; EC=2.7.8.11; AltName: Full=Phosphatidylinositol synthase; Short=PI synthase; Short=PtdIns synthase; FUNCTION: Catalyzes the biosynthesis of phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) as well as PtdIns:inositol exchange reaction. May thus act to reduce an excessive cellular PtdIns content. The exchange activity is due to the reverse reaction of PtdIns synthase and is dependent on CMP, which is tightly bound to the enzyme. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: CDP-diacylglycerol + myo-inositol = CMP + phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol. COFACTOR: Magnesium. COFACTOR: Manganese. ENZYME REGULATION: Inhibited by PtdIns (product inhibition), phosphatidylinositol phosphate, and nucleoside di- and tri- phosphates. BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES: pH dependence: Optimum pH is 9.0; Temperature dependence: Optimum temperature is 50 degrees Celsius; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (By similarity). Golgi apparatus membrane; Multi- pass membrane protein (By similarity). Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed. Higher expression in adult liver and skeletal muscle, slightly lower levels seen in pancreas, kidney, lung, placenta, brain, heart, leukocyte, colon, small intestine, ovary, testis, prostate, thymus and spleen. In fetus, expressed in kidney, liver, lung and brain. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the CDP-alcohol phosphatidyltransferase class-I family.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
