Gene Description | PIK3CA, phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha, activates PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling to promote cell proliferation (PMID: 23411347, PMID: 31905960). PIK3CA activating mutations have been identified in a number of tumor types such as breast cancer (PMID: 32234362, PMID: 32404150), colon cancer (PMID: 32099598), endometrial cancer, glioblastoma, skin cancer, ovarian cancer (PMID: 20535651, PMID: 31892193), and mammary angiosarcoma (PMID: 32123305), and PIK3CA amplification has been observed in esophageal adenocarcinoma (PMID: 31865178). | ||||||||||
