Phosphatase and tensin homolog Adenovirus
This gene was identified as a tumor suppressor that is mutated in a large number of cancers at high frequency. The protein encoded this gene is a phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate 3-phosphatase. It contains a tension like domain as well as a catalytic domain similar to that of the dual specificity protein tyrosine phosphatases. Unlike most of the protein tyrosine phosphatases, this protein preferentially dephosphorylates phosphoinositide substrates. It 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.

Description (eCommerce)
PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog) is a phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-triphosphate 3-phosphatase that has been identified as a tumor suppressor. PTEN is a dual specificity tyrosine and serine/threonine phosphatase that preferentially dephosphorylates phosphoinositide substrates and negatively regulates the AKT/PKB signaling pathway. Through its action, PTEN has been shown to modulate cell cycle progression, cell survival, cell migration, cell adhesion, and insulin signaling.

About Storage Conditions
All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity.
We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
