Tolkacheva T, Chan A M
Abstract excerpt
The human PTEN/MMAC1/TEP1 (PTEN) tumor suppressor gene encodes a phosphatase with specificity towards the D3 phosphate of phosphatidylinositides. PTEN mutations have been reported in the endometrioid type of uterine tumors which are associated with frequent activations of the Ras oncogenes. In this study, we report the ability of PTEN to potently inhibit H-Ras induced morphological transformation and...
