Abstract excerpt
Genetic variations in oncogenes can often promote uncontrolled cell proliferation by altering the structure of the encoded protein, thereby altering its function. The PI3KCA oncogene that encodes for p110α, the catalytic subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), is one the most frequently mutated oncogenes in humans. PI3K plays a pivotal role in cell division. PI3K consists of two subunits: the catalytic...
