Abstract excerpt
Tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular substrates is one mechanism to regulate cellular proliferation and differentiation. Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) act by dephosphorylation of substrates and thereby counteract the activity of tyrosine kinases. Few PTPs have been suggested to play a role in bone remodeling, one of them being Rptpzeta, since it has been shown to be suppressed by pleiotrophin, a...
