The PIK3CA/CCP3 FISH Probe Kit is designed to detect the human PIK3CA gene located on chromosome band 3q26.32, along with the number of chromosome 3 copies per cell.
Abnormal expression of the PIK3CA gene – also known as MCM, CWS5, MCAP, PI3K, CLOVE, MCMTC or p110-alpha – has been observed in a variety of human cancers, including colon, breast, ovarian, brain, lung, stomach and other tumors.
