Abstract excerpt
The PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10) tumor suppressor is a phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdInsP3) 3-phosphatase that plays a crucial role in regulating many cellular processes by antagonizing the phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling pathway. Although able to metabolize soluble inositol phosphates in vitro, the question of their significance as physiological substrates...
