The protein is located on the 10th chromosome 10q23.31 in humans. PTEN works with tumor suppressing for cancers, such as breast and prostate cancer. It also works to remove phosphate groups from specific amino acids, such as dephosphorylating tyrosine, serine, and threonine phosphorylated peptides. | The protein is located on the 10th chromosome 10q23.31 in humans.
