Abstract:C1‐TEN is a novel intracellular protein homologous to both tensin and to PTEN. C1‐TEN overexpression in mammalian cells alters cell morphology, inhibits cell proliferation and migration and enhances apoptosis. These effects are coupled to a downregulation of Akt signalling, possibly through C1‐TEN phosphatase activity. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of C1‐TEN and its sister protein Tensin3 in human cancer.
mRNA expression of both C1‐TEN and Tensin3 were analysed from total RNA from a h… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
