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.

Structure
is a protein that consists of 403-amino acids. Breaking it down into two main parts (the C-terminal and the N-terminal) it has 166 residues on the C-terminal (C2 Domain) and 179 on the N-terminal (Phosphatase Domain). PTEN is consisted of Alpha helix and Beta pleated sheets.
