Fig. 1 The phosphoinositide kinase PIKFYVE is expressed in human ocular tissues. A) The family of phosphoinositide lipids, highlighting the conversions mediated by PIKfyve to generate PI(3,5)P2 and PI(5)P. B) Expression of PIKfyve across select human tissue types based on RNASeq data collated in eyeIntegration v2.12, NEI, NIH. Note the high expression in ocular tissues (red box).
