We studied the level of the cytosolic phosphotyrosine protein phosphatase (PTPase) (originally termed low-M, acid phosphatase) in normal NIH/3T3 and in v-erbB-transformed fibroblasts. The level of the enzyme, assayed by ELISA, was inversely related to cell proliferation, normally growing cells had l

## Abstract The relationship between alkaline phosphatase activity and cell growth has been studied in hamster cells transformed by different carcinogens. About 90% of normal hamster embryo cells were constitutively positive for alkaline phosphatase activity (AP^+^). However, there were no AP^+^ ce
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) represent a family of enzymes which together with protein tyrosine kinases (PTKases) play a critical role in cell proliferation and are likely involved in neoplastic transformation. Results presented here indicate that PTPases may also be involved in mechanism
We have previously reported oscillations in the activities of the phosphoamino acid phosphatases in murine erythroleukaemic cells. In keeping with our predictions we now show that the phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity rhythm has a much shorter period than originally seemed the case, being of the
