DESCRIPTION

Also known as P85B_HUMAN, PIK3R2. Regulatory subunit of phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K), a kinase that phosphorylates PtdIns(4, 5)P2 (Phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate) to generate phosphatidylinositol 3, 4, 5-trisphosphate (PIP3). PIP3 plays a key role by recruiting PH domain-containing proteins to the membrane, including AKT1 and PDPK1, activating signaling cascades involved in cell growth, survival, proliferation, motility and morphology. Binds to activated (phosphorylated) protein-tyrosine kinases, through its SH2 domain, and acts as an adapter, mediating the association of the p110 catalytic unit to the plasma membrane. Indirectly regulates autophagy (PubMed:23604317). Promotes nuclear translocation of XBP1 isoform 2 in a ER stress- and/or insulin-dependent manner during metabolic overloading in the liver and hence plays a role in glucose tolerance improvement (By similarity). Heterodimer of a regulatory subunit PIK3R2 and a p110 catalytic subunit (PIK3CA, PIK3CB or PIK3CD) (PubMed:23604317). Interacts with AXL (PubMed:9178760). Interacts with FLT1 (tyrosine-phosphorylated) and FLT4 (tyrosine-phosphorylated) (PubMed:9600074, PubMed:15102829). Interacts with NYAP1, NYAP2 and MYO16 (By similarity). Interacts with FBXL2; PIK3R2 is a substrate of the SCF(FBXL2) complex (PubMed:23604317). Interacts with PTPN13; dephosphorylates PIK3R2 (PubMed:23604317). Interacts with XBP1 isoform 2; the interaction is direct and induces translocation of XBP1 isoform 2 into the nucleus in a ER stress- and/or insulin-dependent but PI3K-independent manner (By similarity). Interacts with PIK3R1; the interaction is dissociated in an insulin-dependent manner (By similarity). Interacts with SRC (PubMed:28903391).
