Phosphoinositides are important regulators of intracellular membrane traffic, and although the role of PI(4,5)P2 has been well characterised, the function of PI(3,4)P2 remains unclear; here the formation of PI(3,4)P2 by the class II phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase C2α enzyme is shown to control clathrin-mediated endocytosis.
