Abstract:Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a wellestablished metabolic regulator and a member of PTP superfamily that catalyzes protein tyrosine dephosphorylation. Many scientific evidences have shown that PTP1B plays a broad role in the regulation of body metabolism, particularly in cancer development.1-3 In the insulin signaling pathway, PTP1B can be involved in dephosphorylation of activated insulin receptor (IR) or insulin receptor substrates (IRS). PTP1B can also bind and dephosphorylate JAK2, which activ… Show more
