Phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinases are involved in both receptor-mediated signal transduction and intracellular trafficking.
In yeast, the vps34 gene product is a PI 3-kinase that mediates the active diversion of proteins from the secretory pathway to vacuoles.
Mammals appear to have a family of PI 3-kinases, which also includes PIK3CG and PIK3CA.
The full-length PIK3C3 cDNA encodes an 887aa polypeptide that is 37% identical to yeast vps34 over its entire length.
Its predicted and observed molecular mass is approximately 100kD.
PIK3C3 gene was expressed as a 3.7-kb transcript in all human tissues examined.
The PIK3C3 gene does not associate with the p85 regulatory subunit but does form a complex with p150, a mammalian homolog of another protein in the yeast vps pathway.
