Merck, 14-792, PI 3-Kinase (p110α(H1047R)/p85α), 10 µg

General description
Research area: Cell Signaling

Complex of N-terminal 6His-tagged recombinant human p110α full length, containing the mutation H1047R, and untagged, recombinant, human p85α full length. The H1047R substitution is a somatic mutation in p110α that has been associated with tumours of the colon, stomach, breast, and brain. PI3Ks are categorized into three classes, namely class I, II, and III, based on their structural characteristics, substrate specificities, and the nature of lipid end-products. Class IA PI3Ks are composed of heterodimers that include a p110 catalytic subunit and a p85 regulatory subunit. In mammals, PIK3CA, PIK3CB, and PIK3CD, encode the p110 catalytic isoforms: p110α, p110β, and p110δ, respectively.
PI3Kα/p85α
Biochem/physiol Actions
PI3 kinases play a critical role in various cellular processes such as cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, DNA repair, angiogenesis, cellular metabolism, and motility. PI3Ks can activate the serine/threonine kinase AKT and other downstream effector pathways by transmitting signals from growth factors and cytokines into intracellular messages. Genetic mutation in p110α is observed in breast, pancreatic, colon, liver, and lung cancers.Combined in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that this mutation confers higher lipid kinase activity than wild type, and can induce oncogenic transformation.
