Overview

PTEN is a protein encoded by the PTEN gene which is approximately 47, 1 kDa. PTEN is localised to the cytoplasm and nucleus. It is involved in RET signalling, glioma, inositol phosphate metabolism, GAB1 signalosome and IL-2 pathway. It is a phosphatidylinositol-3, 4, 5-trisphosphate 3-phosphatase. It contains a tensin like domain as well as a catalytic domain similar to that of the dual specificity protein tyrosine phosphatases. It negatively regulates intracellular levels of phosphatidylinositol-3, 4, 5-trisphosphate in cells and functions as a tumor suppressor by negatively regulating the AKT/PKB signalling pathway. PTEN is expressed at high levels in all adult tissues. Mutations in the PTEN gene may result in Cowden syndrome. STJ98583 was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen. This polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of PTEN.
