PIK3C3
phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase catalytic subunit type 3 | Vps34, hVps34

Enables 1-phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including early endosome to late endosome transport; macroautophagy; and phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within autophagy and positive regulation of protein lipidation. Located in autolysosome; late endosome; and midbody. Part of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex, class III.

PIK3C3 — as a Regulated Gene

TFs regulating PIK3C3 0 TFs

Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for PIK3C3. The Binding column indicates whether any binding evidence exists for this TF–gene pair (ChIP-seq or motif footprint peaks). The Mean coef is the average Perturb-seq regression coefficient across active gRNAs (positive = PIK3C3 upregulated upon KD; negative = downregulated). The Outlier column indicates whether this gene is in the top or bottom 5% of all TF knockdown effects.

Elements linked to PIK3C3

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of PIK3C3, linked by TSS proximity or chromatin conformation (Multiome / HiCAR). Each element overlaps at least one TF ChIP-seq binding site — the TFs column shows how many distinct TFs bind that element.
