C2-PI3K

Phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 3-kinase, catalytic subunit type 2 beta (PIK3C2B) is a gene that encodes a protein that plays a role in signaling pathways involved in cell proliferation, oncogenic transformation, cell survival, cell migration, and intracellular protein trafficking. Missense mutations, silent mutations, nonsense mutations, frameshift deletions, and frameshift insertions are observed in cancers such as skin cancer, stomach cancer, and colon cancer.

PIK3C2B is altered in 3.87% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, conventional glioblastoma multiforme, and endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
