Pik3cg Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables 1-phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including hepatocyte apoptotic process; negative regulation of triglyceride catabolic process; and phosphatidylinositol phosphate biosynthetic process. Part of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex. Used to study liver cirrhosis. Biomarker of diabetic retinopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder; immunodeficiency 97; and swine influenza. Orthologous to human PIK3CG (phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit gamma). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Pik3cg often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
