PTENP1
(Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog Pseudogene 1 (PTENP1))
This gene (PTENP1) is a highly homologous pseudogene of PTEN. PTEN was identified as a tumor suppressor that is mutated in a large number of cancers at high frequency. PTEN 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.Synonyms: PTEN-rs, PTEN2, PTH2, Phosphatase and tensin homolog 2, Phosphatase and tensin homolog pseudogene 1, psiPTEN
