Abstract excerpt
The lipid phosphatase, PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10), is the product of a major tumour suppressor gene that antagonizes PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) signalling by dephosphorylating the 3-position of the inositol ring of PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3). PtdIns(3,4,5)P(3) is also metabolized by removal of the 5-phosphate catalysed by a distinct family of enzymes exemplified by SHIP1 [SH2...
