PTEN (Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10) is a ~58kD lipid phosphatase and tumor suppressor protein that is frequently mutated in tumor cells.
It plays a key role in cell migration, survival and apoptosis by negatively regulating phosphoproteins in the Akt/PI3Kinase pathway and is involved in Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR) and Fc-gamma-mediated macrophage inflammatory responses.
The non-catalytic regulatory carboxyl terminus of PTEN contains multiple phosphorylation sites including two CK2 sites (serines 370 and 385) and MAGI-2 sites (threonines 382 and 383).
Phosphorylation of serine 370 and 385 primes PTEN for additional phosphorylation of nearby residues while phosphorylation of serine 380 and threonines 382 and 385 plays a critical role in regulating PTEN stability.
