Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein, alpha, also known as PITPNA, is a human gene.

Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein is a member of a diverse set of cytosolic phospholipid transfer proteins that are distinguished by their ability to transfer phospholipids between membranes in vitro (Wirtz, 1991).[supplied by OMIM]^[1]
