Abstract excerpt
PTEN: and beta-catenin mutations constitute the predominant genetic alterations in endometrioid carcinomas of the endometrium. PTEN encodes a dual-specificity phosphatase with lipid phosphatase and protein tyrosine phosphatase activities that regulate both apoptosis and interactions with the extracellular matrix. Recent studies have associated PTEN mutations with tumorigenesis of prostate carcinoma via the Wnt...
