The protein encoded by this gene is the founding member of
the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family, which was isolated
and identified based on its enzymatic activity and amino acid
sequence. PTPs catalyze the hydrolysis of the phosphate monoesters
specifically on tyrosine residues. Members of the PTP family share
a highly conserved catalytic motif, which is essential for the
catalytic activity. PTPs are known to be signaling molecules that
regulate a variety of cellular processes including cell growth,
differentiation, mitotic cycle, and oncogenic transformation. This
PTP has been shown to act as a negative regulator of insulin
signaling by dephosphorylating the phosphotryosine residues of
insulin receptor kinase. This PTP was also reported to
dephosphorylate epidermal growth factor receptor kinase, as well as
JAK2 and TYK2 kinases, which implicated the role of this PTP in
cell growth control, and cell response to interferon stimulation.1) Stuible, M., et al. Trends Cell Biol. 20(11):672-679(2010)
