Tumor suppressor enzymes prevent uncontrolled activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTORC1 cascade at different levels: among them, PTEN counteracts PI3K activity by dephosphorylating PIP3 to PIP2, while LKB1 indirectly inhibits mTORC1 via AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-mediated activation of TSC1/2 [22, 23]. The gene discussed is PIK3CD; the disease is neoplasm.
