Phospho-PTEN (Ser380) (Clone: NA9) rabbit mAb APC conjugate

PTEN has been identified as a tumor suppressor gene and has been found to be mutated in a significant number of human cancers, including prostate, brain, and breast cancer. PTEN shares sequence homology with the protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) family of proteins and negatively regulates the PI3K/Akt pathway. PTEN de-phosphorylates target proteins, and recombinant PTEN has been shown to have phosphoinositide 3-phosphhatase and inositol phosphate 3-phosphatase activity. Studies of primary tumor cells show a loss of PTEN expression after metastasis to the brain, via astrocyte-derived microRNAs. A cluster of phosphorylation sites (S380, T382, T383, and S385) in the C-terminal tail of PTEN drive a conformational change that reduces PTEN activity by inhibiting membrane interactions.
