Pik3c2b Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable 1-phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase activity and 1-phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 3-kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in cell migration; intracellular signal transduction; and phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within autophagosome organization and cellular response to starvation. Predicted to be located in cytosol; endocytic vesicle; and nucleus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human PIK3C2B (phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit type 2 beta).

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 Pik3c2b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
