Background

PTEN (also designated MMAC1), products of tumor suppressor genes, are found deleted in most human gliomas. The PTEN genes are also mutated in many other tumors, such as brain, breast, kidney and prostate cancers. PTEN is a protein tyrosine phosphatase that may terminate the signaling transduction pathways mediated by PI 3-kinase/Akt. PTEN has an apparent molecular weight of 55 kDa and it is located in the cytosol.

Reconstitution

It is recommended that sterile water be added to the vial to prepare a stock solution of 0.5 mg/mL. Concentration is measured by UV-Vis.

Shipping Conditions

This product is provided as lyophilized powder which is shipped with ice packs.

Storage Conditions

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
