Abstract excerpt
Src homology region 2-containing phosphatase 1 (SHP-1), encoded by the protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 6 (PTPN6), regulates immune and metabolic signaling pathways. Although its functions in immune cells and insulin-responsive tissues are separately established, its integrative function in immunometabolic regulation remains unclear. A damaging variant in the PTPN6 gene (Ala455Thr) was discovered in...
