Abstract

Nearly all of the cells of our bodies contain three related proteins called PI3K alpha, PI3K beta and PI3K delta. We now know these PI3Ks play a very important role in transmitting information from hormones outside of the cell to the inside of cells. This information is needed for the cell to co-ordinate various complex responses to the hormone, such as cell growth, survival or movement. The key aim of this project is to define the roles for PI3Ks in a type of white blood cell called a neutrophil.
