Product details:
Human PI 3 Kinase p85 alpha SimpleStep ELISA® kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of PI 3 Kinase p85 alpha protein in Cell Lysate, Tissue extracts. Quantitate Human PI 3 Kinase p85 alpha with 10 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA
technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA
plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA
protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA
technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips, available in 10-pack (10 x 96-well plates)
-Also available in a fully validated 384-well format.

PI 3 Kinase p85 alpha also known as PI3KR1 or phospho PI3K is a regulatory subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) that plays a fundamental role in various signaling pathways. The p85 protein has a molecular weight of approximately 85 kDa. This protein is widely expressed in many cell types facilitating essential cellular functions by forming a heterodimer with the class I PI3K catalytic subunit often implicated in regulating lipid signaling pathways.
Biological function summary
P85 alpha modulates intracellular signaling by interacting with other proteins in a complex formation with catalytic subunit p110. This interaction enables the initiation of downstream signaling cascades controlling cell growth proliferation and survival. PI 3 kinase activity mediated by p85 alpha is integral to cellular homeostasis and metabolism helping to execute cellular responses to a variety of growth factors and hormones.
Pathways
PI 3 Kinase p85 alpha integrates into two principal signaling networks: the PI3K-Akt and mTOR pathways. These pathways are instrumental for regulating anabolic processes and cell survival. The p85 form of PI3K interacts with additional proteins such as Akt and mTOR coordinating cellular energy balance promoting protein synthesis and inhibiting apoptosis. Through these interactions the protein ensures that cells respond accurately to nutritional and stress signals.
Alterations in PI 3 Kinase p85 alpha function have been linked to cancer and type 2 diabetes. Aberrant signaling involving PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathways due to mutations in PI3KR1 can contribute to tumor progression and chemoresistance. Moreover dysfunction of this pathway affects insulin signaling connecting p85 alpha to diabetic pathologies. Proteins such as IRS-1 (insulin receptor substrate 1) act alongside p85 alpha in mediating these disease-associated processes emphasizing its importance in maintaining physiological balance.
