The PTEN/PI3K/AKT signalling pathway in cancer, therapeutic implications.

Abstract excerpt

PTEN/PI3K/AKT constitutes an important pathway regulating the signaling of multiple biological processes such as apoptosis, metabolism, cell proliferation and cell growth. PTEN is a dual protein/lipid phosphatase which main substrate is the phosphatidyl-inositol,3,4,5 triphosphate (PIP3), the product of PI3K. Increase in PIP3 recruits AKT to the membrane where it is activated by other kinases also dependent on...
