Abstract excerpt
Although phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) localization in the nucleus and cytoplasm is established, the mechanism is unknown. PTEN is a tumor suppressor phosphatase that causes cell cycle arrest and/or apoptosis. Nuclear-cytoplasmic compartmentalization may be a novel mechanism in regulating these events. PTEN does not contain a traditional nuclear localization sequence (NLS);...
