Abstract excerpt
The tumor suppressor PTEN negatively controls the phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathway for cell survival by dephosphorylating the phospholipid substrates phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate. PTEN has been proposed to dephosphorylate focal adhesion kinase and is implicated in the regulation of cell spreading and motility. We analyzed the role of PTEN in invasion using...
