phosphoinositide 3-kinase (pi3k)
Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in cell signaling pathways. It phosphorylates a specific type of lipid called phosphoinositides, leading to the activation of various downstream signaling molecules. This activation cascade ultimately controls important cellular processes such as cell growth, proliferation, and survival.
