Abstract excerpt
The PTPN1 gene codes for protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) (EC 3.1.3.48), which negatively regulates insulin signaling by dephosphorylating the phosphotyrosine residues of the insulin receptor kinase activation segment. PTPN1 is located in 20q13, a genomic region linked to type 2 diabetes in multiple genetic studies. Surveys of the gene have previously identified only a few uncommon coding single nucleotide...
