Table 3. Gene-targeted mouse models of Class I PI3K.

Class I PI3K Genotype Phenotypes References
p110 α p110 α -/- Embryonic lethality (E10.5) 92
p110 α D933A/D933A Embryonic lethality (E10.5) E10-11; severe vascular abnormalities at E10.5 97, 98
p110 α +/D933A Defective in growth and metabolic regulation associated with hyperinsulinemia and glucose intolerance 98
