PTEN Tumor Suppressor Protein, Recombinant, Human (PTEN1, MMAC1, Phosphatase and Tensin, TEP1, BZS,

PTEN, also known as phosphatase and tensin homolog, is a tumor suppressor that is mutated in a large number of cancers at high frequency. This protein acts as both a dual-specificity protein phosphatase and a lipid phosphatase, removing the phosphate in the D3 position of the inositol ring from phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate. PTEN negatively regulates intracellular levels of phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate in cells and functions as a tumor suppressor by negatively regulating AKT/PKB signaling pathway. Recombinant PTEN protein, expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
