PI 3-kinase p85 alpha is a protein encoded by the PIK3R1 gene which is approximately 83, 5 kDa. PI 3-kinase p85 alpha is localised to the cytoplasm, cytosol and nucleus. It is involved in RET signalling, the IL-2 pathway, downstream signalling of activated FGFR2, regulation of lipid metabolism and insulin signalling-generic cascades. It binds to activated protein-Tyr kinases, through its SH2 domain, and acts as an adapter in mediating the association of the p110 catalytic unit to the plasma membrane. It is necessary for the insulin-stimulated increase in glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis in insulin-sensitive tissues. PI 3-kinase p85 alpha isoform 2 and isoform 4 are present in skeletal muscle. Mutations in the PIK3R1 gene may result in Short syndrome and Agammaglobulinemia. STJ90925 was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen. This primary antibody specifically binds to endogenous PI 3-kinase p85 alpha protein which only binds about Y607 when Y607 is phosphorylated.
