PTEN is the brake on the PI3K growth pathway; when a tumour loses it the pathway runs unchecked, which is why PTEN loss now selects patients for the AKT inhibitor capivasertib. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Biology
PTEN loss raises PIP3 and constitutively activates AKT and mTOR; it also has nuclear roles in genome stability, so PTEN-null tumours accumulate further damage.
- Prostate cancer (loss in about 40 percent of metastatic disease)
- Endometrial cancer
- Glioblastoma
- Breast cancer (PI3K pathway alterations)
