Customer Q&As

What is PTP1B?

A: PTP1B, also known as protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B, is an enzyme that belongs to the protein tyrosine phosphatase family. It is encoded by the PTPN1 gene in humans.

What is the role of PTP1B in signaling pathways?

A: PTP1B plays a crucial role in regulating the signaling pathways involved in cell growth, metabolism, and insulin signaling.

What is the structure of PTP1B?

A: The first crystal structure of the PTP1B catalytic domain reveals that the catalytic site resides within a deep cleft in the protein formed by three loops, including the WPD loop with Asp181 residue, a pTyr loop with Tyr46 residue, and a Q loop with the Gln262 residue.

What diseases are PTP1B associated with?

A: PTP1B has been implicated in several diseases, including obesity, diabetes, and cancer, making it an important target for therapeutic interventions.
