PIK3CB phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit beta

Gene ID: 5291, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PI3K; PIK3C1; P110BETA; PI3KBETA

Summary

This gene encodes an isoform of the catalytic subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). These kinases are important in signaling pathways involving receptors on the outer membrane of eukaryotic cells and are named for their catalytic subunit. The encoded protein is the catalytic subunit for PI3Kbeta (PI3KB). PI3KB has been shown to be part of the activation pathway in neutrophils which have bound immune complexes at sites of injury or infection. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
