PIK3R2 phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 2 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 5296)
Symbol: PIK3R2
Full name: phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 2
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: MPPH; MPPH1; P85B; p85; p85-BETA; p85beta
Summary: Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) is a lipid kinase that phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol and similar compounds, creating second messengers important in growth signaling pathways. PI3K functions as a heterodimer of a regulatory and a catalytic subunit. The protein encoded by this gene is a regulatory component of PI3K. Three transcript variants, one protein coding and the other two non-protein coding, have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2019]
