Deficiency in class III PI3-kinase confers postnatal lethality with IBD-like features in zebrafish
The functions of the class III PI3-kinase (PIK3C3) in gut homeostasis and innate immunity are poorly understood. Here the authors show that PIK3C3-deficient zebrafishes develop intestinal injury and inflammation due to mislocalization of cell junction proteins.
