Abstract excerpt
PTEN/MMAC1 (phosphatase, tensin homologue/mutated in multiple advanced cancers) is a tumor suppressor protein that has sequence homology with dual-specificity phosphatases, which are capable of dephosphorylating both tyrosine phosphate and serine/threonine phosphate residues on proteins. The in vivo function of PTEN/MMAC1 appears to be dephosphorylation of phosphotidylinositol 3,4, 5-triphosphate. The PTEN/MMAC1...
