Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase is composed of an 85 kDa regulatory subunit and a 110 kDa catalytic subunit. The protein encoded by this gene represents the catalytic subunit, which uses ATP to phosphorylate PtdIns, PtdIns4P and PtdIns(4, 5)P2. This gene has been found to be oncogenic and has been implicated in cervical cancers. A pseudogene of this gene has been defined on chromosome 22.

Description
PIK3CA belongs to the PI3/PI4-kinase family. It phosphorylates PtdIns, PtdIns4P and PtdIns(4,5)P2 with a preference for PtdIns(4,5)P2. Defects in PIK3CA are associated with colorectal cancer (CRC). Defects in PIK3CA are associated with breast cancer. Defects in PIK3CA are associated with ovarian cancer. Defects in PIK3CA may underlie hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Defects in PIK3CA are a cause of keratosis seborrheic (KERSEB). The antibody is specific to PIK3CA.
