Term Name: PTEN phosphatase complex
Synonyms: phosphatase and tensin homolog, phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten homodimer, phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate 3-phosphatase and dual-specificity protein phosphatase PTEN homodimer
Definition: A phospholipid phosphatase complex that catalyses the hydrolysis of the second messenger PtdIns (3,4,5)P3. Will also dephosphorylate PtdIns(3,4)P2, PtdIns3P, and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. Dimerization is critical for its lipid phosphatase function.
