Within molecular and cell biology, p87PIKAP is a regulatory subunit of the type IB Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase p110γ that is highly expressed in the heart and is present in dendritic cells, macrophages, and neutrophils.[1] It is also referred to as p84 and p87.[2] Some studies have found P87PIKAP to have a role in carcinogenesis.[3]
