Facts about PH domain leucine-rich repeat-containing protein phosphatase 2.
Akt modulates the balance between cell survival and apoptosis by means of a cascade that primarily alters the function of transcription factors that govern pro- and antiapoptotic genes. Dephosphorylation of'Ser- 473' of Akt triggers apoptosis and reduces cell proliferation.

In colorectal cancer tissue, expression is highest in the surface epithelium of normal colonic mucosa adjacent to the cancer tissue but is largely excluded from the crypt bases. Expression is lost or significantly decreased in 80% of tested tumors (at protein level).
Cytoplasm. Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Nucleus. In colorectal cancer tissue, expression is concentrated in the cytoplasm and nucleus.
