Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityATP + 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol = ADP + 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol 3-phosphate.
CofactorName=Mn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29035; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:7628435};
FunctionCatalytic subunit of the PI3K complex that mediates formation of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate which plays a key role in initiation and maturation of autophagosomes. Involved in the transport of lysosomal enzyme precursors to lysosomes. Required for the abcission step in cytokinesis. Required for transport from early to late endosomes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14617358, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20208530, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7628435}.
InteractionQ14457:BECN1; NbExp=14; IntAct=EBI-1056470, EBI-949378;
SimilarityBelongs to the PI3/PI4-kinase family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00880}.
SimilarityContains 1 C2 PI3K-type domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00880}.
SimilarityContains 1 PI3K/PI4K domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00269}.
SimilarityContains 1 PIK helical domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00878}.
Subcellular LocationMidbody. Late endosome. Note=Localizes also to discrete punctae along the ciliary axoneme and to the base of the ciliary axoneme. {ECO:0000250}.
SubunitHeterodimer. This subunit, part of a complex composed of regulatory and catalytic subunits, associates with regulatory subunit PIK3R4. Forms a complex with BECN1, PIK3R4 and either UVRAG and KIAA0226/Rubicon, or with ATG14. In this complex, presence of UVRAG and ATG14 are mutually exclusive. Part of a complex composed of PIK3R4 and PIK3CB (By similarity). Interacts with RAB7A in the presence of PIK3R4. Interacts with BECN1P1/BECN2. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14617358, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19050071, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19270696, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23954414, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7628435}.
Tissue SpecificityUbiquitously expressed, with a highest expression in skeletal muscle. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7628435}.
