The PI3K comprises of a 110 kDa catalytic subunit and a 85 kDa regulatory subunit. A number of isoforms of the 110 kDa catalytic subunit and the 85 kDa regulatory subunit exist in cells. The p110a catalytic subunit (PIK3CA) is frequently mutated or amplified in a variety of cancers including ovarian and colon and this protein is one of the PI3K mutants . PIK3CA gene copy number is increased in over 30% of ovarian cancers and this leads to increased PI3-kinase activity. Furthermore, the activity of p110a is essential for vascular development and inactivation of p110a leads to severe defects in angiogenic sprouting and vascular remodeling .
Store product at –70°C. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For most favorable performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
