Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase complex, class III, type I Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
Catalyzes phosphorylation of phosphatidyl inositol, one of the major phospholipids in the cell, specifically at the d-3 position of the inositol ring, to generate PtdIns(3)P (CHEBI:17283). The formation of PtdIns(3)P is crucial for membrane recruitment of ATG proteins and the early stage of autophagosome formation
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
