Phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 5-kinase Iγ_v6, a new splice variant found in rodents and humans

► In this study we investigate splice variation in the lipid kinase PI4P 5-kinase Iγ. ► We report a new splice variant in rodents. ► We show that this new variant has a wide tissue distribution. ► We show, by identifying a new human splice site, that humans also express this variant. ► Finally, we show that another known splice variant, hitherto thought to be present only in rodents, is also found in humans.
