Abstract excerpt
Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a key negative regulator of insulin and leptin signaling and a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, obesity, and other associated metabolic syndromes. Because PTP1B regulates multiple signal pathways and it can both enhance and antagonize a cellular event, it is important to establish the physiological relevance of PTP1B in these processes. In...
