14 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
SHP2, a cytoplasmic protein-tyrosine phosphatase encoded by the PTPN11 gene, plays a critical role in developmental hematopoiesis in the mouse, and gain-of-function mutations of SHP2 are associated with hematopoietic malignancies. However, the role of SHP2 in adult hematopoiesis has not been addressed in previous studies. In addition, the role of SHP2 in human hematopoiesis has not been described. These questions...
