title: Subcellular localisation of inositol lipid kinases in rat liver.
abstract: The subcellular distribution of the enzymes which phosphorylate phosphatidylinositol sequentially to form phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate was investigated in rat liver. We demonstrate that whilst phosphatidylinositol kinase is present in Golgi, lysosomes and plasma membranes, the kinase that forms phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate is localised predominantly at the plasma membrane. The role of the inositol lipid kinases in cell function is discussed.
