Breakdown products of phosphoinositides 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. This
gene encodes an enzyme which regulates the amount of
phosphatidylinositol available for signaling by catalyzing the
conversion of phosphatidic acid to CDP-diacylglycerol. This enzyme
is an integral membrane protein localized to two subcellular
domains, the matrix side of the inner mitochondrial membrane where
it is thought to be involved in the synthesis of
phosphatidylglycerol and cardiolipin and the cytoplasmic side of
the endoplasmic reticulum where it functions in
phosphatidylinositol biosynthesis. Two genes encoding this enzyme
have been identified in humans, one mapping to human chromosome
4q21 and a second to 20p13.1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care (2010) In press :
