Synonyms: Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulatory subunit alpha; Pik3r1; PI3K regulatory subunit alpha; PtdIns-3-kinase regulatory subunit alpha; Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase 85 kDa regulatory subunit alpha; PI3-kinase subunit p85-alpha; PtdIns-3-kinase regulatory subunit p85-alpha
Background: Binds to activated (phosphorylated) protein-Tyr kinases, through its SH2 domain, and acts as an adapter, mediating the association of the p110 catalytic unit to the plasma membrane. Necessary for the insulin-stimulated increase in glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis in insulin-sensitive tissues. Plays an important role in signaling in response to FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, FGFR4, KITLG/SCF, KIT, PDGFRA and PDGFRB. Likewise, plays a role in ITGB2 signaling (By similarity). Modulates the cellular response to ER stress by promoting 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 (PubMed:20348926).
