Gene Summary
- Human (5290): Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase is composed of an 85 kDa regulatory subunit and a 110 kDa catalytic subunit. The protein encoded by this gene represents the catalytic subunit, which uses ATP to phosphorylate PtdIns, PtdIns4P and PtdIns(4,5)P2. This gene has been found to be oncogenic and has been implicated in cervical cancers. [provided by RefSeq]
- Rat (170911): expression of the human homolog is associated with increased cell proliferation and decreased apoptosis and may play a role in ovarian cancer progression [RGD]
