PIK-III, also known as VPS34-IN2, is a VPS34 inhibitor which blocks autophagy and uncovers a role for NCOA4 in ferritin degradation and iron homeostasis in vivo. PIK-III binds a unique hydrophobic pocket not present in related kinases such as PI(3)Kα. PIK-III acutely inhibits autophagy and de novo lipidation of LC3, and leads to the stabilization of autophagy substrates. .
