Class II PI 3-kinases

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Class II PI 3-kinasesare a subgroup of the enzyme family,phosphoinositide 3-kinasethat share a common protein domain structure, substrate specificity and method of activation.

Class II PI 3-kinases were the most recently identified class of PI 3-kinases.

There are three class II PI 3-kinase isoforms expressed in mammalian cells;

  • PI3K-C2α encoded by thePIK3C2Agene
  • PI3K-C2β encoded by thePIK3C2Bgene
  • PI3K-C2γ encoded by thePIK3C2Ggene
