PIK3C2G Proteins

Protein Information

PIK3C2G lipid kinase belongs to the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) family which play major roles in signaling pathways and are involved in cell proliferation, oncogenic transformation, cell survival, cell migration, and intracellular protein trafficking. PIK3C2G contains a lipid kinase catalytic domain as well as a C-terminal C2 domain, a characteristic of class II PI3-kinases that act as calcium-dependent phospholipid binding motifs which mediate translocation of proteins to membranes, and may also mediate protein-protein interactions. The N-terminal region of PIK3C2G and the C-terminal C2 domain are required for enzymatic activity. The PI 3-kinase C2gamma gene encodes a 1,050 amino acid polypeptide with 36% identity to human PI 3-kinase C2alpha. Research indicates that PI 3-kinase C2gamma can block the growth of human colon cancer cells.
