Abstract excerpt
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are a family of lipid kinases that perform multiple and important cellular functions. The protein investigated here belongs to class IA of the PI3Ks; it is a dimer consisting of a catalytic subunit, p110α, and a regulatory subunit, p85α, and is referred to as PI3Kα. The catalytic subunit p110α is frequently mutated in cancer. The mutations induce a gain of function and...
