Caenorhabditis elegans Enables 1-phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase activity and calmodulin binding activity. Involved in protein localization and regulation of mitotic spindle elongation. Located in plasma membrane. Expressed in egg-laying apparatus; gonad; seam cell; and ventral nerve cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lethal congenital contracture syndrome 3. Is an ortholog of human PIP5K1A (phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase type 1 alpha).
