Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase (PI3K) is a central enzyme in a signaling pathway that mediates cellular responses to insulin and other growth factors. This enzyme phosphorylates the 3 position of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate to produce phosphatidyl-inositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3) at the plasma membrane. A number of signaling proteins, including the Ser/Thr protein kinases, AKT and PDK1,...
