Abstract excerpt
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3K) constitute important regulators of various signaling pathways with relevance in cancer. Enhanced activation of p110alpha, the catalytic subunit of PI3K, was found in a high proportion of many human tumor types. We generated a mouse model in which PI3K is activated by forced recruitment of p110alpha to the membrane. Different transgenic lines expressing myristoylated p110alpha...
