| Abstract |
C. elegans encodes a PTEN homolog called DAF-18 and human PTEN can functionally replace DAF-18. Thus C. elegans provides a valuable model organism to study PTEN. This chapter provides methods to study DAF-18/PTEN function in C. elegans. We provide methods to genotype daf-18/Pten mutants, visualize and quantify DAF-18/PTEN in C. elegans, as well as to study physiological and developmental processes that will provide molecular insight on DAF-18/PTEN function. |
