Protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) play an important role in the regulation of insulin action by dephosphorylating the active (autophosphorylated) form of the insulin receptor and attenuating its tyrosine kinase activity. PTPases can also modulate post-receptor signalling by catalyzing the deph

The regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation represents a key mechanism governing cell proliferation. In fibroblasts, inputs from both growth factor and extracellular matrix receptors are required for cell division. Triggering such receptors induces a wave of tyrosine phosphorylation on key signaling
Intracellular signaling proteins are very often regulated by site-specific phosphorylation. For example, growth factor receptors in eukaryotic cells contain intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity and use inter- and intra-molecular interactions to recruit and orient potential protein substrates for phosp
