SGD DescriptionPhosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase that synthesizes PI-3-phosphate; forms membrane-associated signal transduction complex with Vps15p to regulate protein sorting; activated by the GTP-bound form of Gpa1p; a fraction is localized, with Vps15p, to nuclear pores at nucleus-vacuole junctions and may facilitate transcription elongation for genes positioned at the nuclear periphery
PomBase Descriptionphosphatidylinositol 3-kinase Pik3
AspGD Description1-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/phosphoinositide 3-kinase
