Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) is a tumor suppressor gene. It negatively regulates the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway. PTEN protein might control the growth of cells through its lipid phosphatase activity. The protein tyrosine phosphatase domain of PTEN is known to dephosphorylate serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues. It may also participate in immune modulation. Mutation in the PTEN gene is associated with rare bilateral choroidal ganglioneuroma. Germline mutations in the PTEN gene are observed in Cowden′s syndrome (CS), Lhermitte–Duclos disease (LDD), and Bannayan–Zonana syndrome (BZS).
