Summary: Enables protein tyrosine phosphatase activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; positive regulation of dauer larval development; and positive regulation of positive chemotaxis. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on protein import into nucleus. Located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane; dendrite; and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including Z2; egg-laying apparatus; germ line; oocyte; and somatic nervous system. Used to study cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (multiple); breast cancer (multiple); liver disease (multiple); nervous system cancer (multiple); and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

The decision of somatic gonad blast cells (SGBs) and germline stem cells (GSCs) to be quiescent or progress developmentally is regulated differently from the non-gonadal soma: daf-18/PTEN acts non-autonomously within the somatic gonad to maintain developmental quiescence of both SGBs and GSCs.

our results imply that DAF-18/PTEN, through PAR-4/LKB1, can activate AAK-1/AMPK in the absence of apparent energy stress. As all components are conserved, similar signalling cascades may regulate stem cell activities in other organisms and be widely implicated in cancer.

differential regulation of germline stem cell proliferation rates in Caenorhabditis elegans adults is accomplished through localized neutralization of insulin/IGF-1 signalling, requiring DAF-18/PTEN.
