Inositol polyphosphate-4-phosphatase type I A (INPP4A)
INPP4A is a PIP₃ / Akt phosphatase or PP2A regulation on the PI3K/Akt/mTOR axis. INPP4A participates in PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling—see UniProt and primary literature for isoforms and tissue context. It is indexed under "PIP₃ / inositol lipid phosphatases (negative regulation)" on our pathway page for antibodies, inhibitors, and assay guidance.
| Type / example | Domain / context (brief) |
|---|---|
| Loss-of-function | Loss/truncation; frequent in tumors |
| CN loss | Copy loss or promoter methylation |
| Rare missense | Validate dominant-negative vs hypomorph |
Naming and prevalence vary by cohort and assay—annotate clinically with COSMIC, ClinVar, OncoKB, and datasheets; research context only.
Examples below reflect common literature and public resources (e.g., CCLE, DepMap)—validate genotypes, expression, and passage in your own stocks before committing assays.
Human tissues and primary cells require ethics/IRB approval; tumors are heterogeneous—record histotype, site, and preservation conditions.
Overexpression vs endogenous INPP4A can differ in dosage, splicing, and compartmentation—in organoids/PDX, record passage, matrix, and drug history.
Adds INPP4A keyword bias atop the PI3K/Akt/mTOR antibody pool—if sparse, use presets above or global search.
