Abstract excerpt
Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog (PTEN) is a dual-specific protein and lipid phosphatase that regulates AKT and downstream signaling of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). PTEN functions as a tumor suppressor gene whose mutations result in PTEN Hamartoma Tumor Syndrome (PHTS) characterized by increased cancer risk and neurodevelopmental comorbidity. Here, we generated a novel neuron-specific Pten knock-out...
