PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homology on chromosome 10) dephosphorylates proteins and lipids such as AKT and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-triphosphate (PIP3) and therefore functions as a key regulatory enzyme in a central signal transduction pathway.
It also interacts with proteins Shc and FAK to promote apoptosis when necessary and to regulate cell division and migration.1 PTEN is considered a tumor suppressor as loss-of-function mutations in PTEN often result in human cancers including melanoma and prostate carcinoma.2,3 PTEN is expressed in almost all tissues of the body as a 403 amino acid protein with an estimated molecular weight of 47kD.
Applications:Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:Western Blot: 2ug/mlImmunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections): 2ug/mlOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Positive Controls:A431 and HEK293
Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20°C.
Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C.
For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
