Tyr740 and Tyr751 residues of platelet-derived growth factor beta receptor are responsible for the redox regulation of phosphatase and tensin homolog in the cells stimulated with platelet-derived growth factor.

Abstract excerpt

Exposure of cells to hydrogen peroxide or platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) induced Akt phosphorylation and oxidation of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN). The Cys124 and Cys71 residues of PTEN were critical for the formation of a disulfide bond and the intermediate glutathionylation in the process of reduction of the disulfide bond. To determine which specific tyrosine residues of the PDGF beta receptor...
