Class II PI 3-kinases are a subgroup of the enzyme family, phosphoinositide 3-kinase that share a common protein domain structure, substrate specificity and method of activation.
Class II PI 3-kinases were the most recently identified class of PI 3-kinases.
There are three class II PI 3-kinase isoforms expressed in mammalian cells;
- PI3K-C2α encoded by the PIK3C2A gene
- PI3K-C2β encoded by the PIK3C2B gene
- PI3K-C2γ encoded by the PIK3C2G gene

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
