The PI3K comprises of a 110 kDa catalytic subunit and an 85 kDa regulatory subunit. A number of isoforms of the 110 kDa catalytic subunit and the 85 kDa regulatory subunit exist in cells. p85α modulates the interaction between PI3K and platelet-derived growth factor receptor (1). Furthermore, estrogen receptor isoform ER-alpha binds in a ligand-dependent manner to the p85-alpha regulatory subunit of PI3K. Stimulation with estrogen increases ER-alpha-associated PI3K activity, leading to the activation of protein kinase B/AKT and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) (2). PI3K (p85 alpha) Protein is ideal for investigators involved in Signaling Proteins, Cellular Proteins, AKT/PKB Pathway, Angiogenesis, Apoptosis/Autophagy, Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, Inflammation, Invasion/Metastasis, Metabolic Disorder, Neurobiology, NfkB Pathway, and WNT Signaling research.
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.
