VPS34 Proteins

Protein Information

PIK3C3 (hVPS34) is the sole class III member of the PI3 Kinase family. PIK3C3 phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol (PI) to produce phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate [PI(3)P], which recruits downstream effectors containing FYVE and Phox domains to membranes. PIK3C3 is involved in coupling nutrient signaling to mTOR and also plays a role in autophagy and intracellular trafficking. Involved in regulation of degradative endocytic trafficking and required for the abcission step in cytokinesis, probably in the context of PI3KC3-C2. Involved in the transport of lysosomal enzyme precursors to lysosomes. Required for transport from early to late endosomes.
