Regulation of p110delta PI 3-kinase gene expression.
<h4>Background</h4>Despite an intense interest in the biological functions of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signalling enzymes, little is known about the regulation of PI3K gene expression. This also applies to the leukocyte-enriched p110delta catalytic subunit of PI3K, an enzyme...

The levels of all the different p110delta transcripts are higher in leukocytes compared to non-leukocytes, with the p110delta transcript containing exon -2a most abundantly expressed.
