Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: N/A
- UniProt Summary: Plays a central role in autophagy (PubMed:23184933, PubMed:28445460). Acts as core subunit of the PI3K complex that mediates formation of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate; different complex forms are believed to play a role in multiple membrane trafficking pathways: PI3KC3-C1 is involved in initiation of autophagosomes and PI3KC3-C2 in maturation of autophagosomes and endocytosis. Involved in regulation of degradative endocytic trafficking and required for the abcission step in cytokinesis, probably in the context of PI3KC3-C2 (PubMed:20643123, PubMed:20208530, PubMed:26783301). Essential for the formation of PI3KC3-C2 but not PI3KC3-C1 PI3K complex forms. Involved in endocytosis (PubMed:25275521). Protects against infection by a neurovirulent strain of Sindbis virus (PubMed:9765397). May play a role in antiviral host defense. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20208530, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20643123, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23184933, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25275521, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26783301, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28445460, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9765397, ECO:0000305}.
