摘要: Insulin resistance is a key pathological feature of type 2 diabetes and characterized by defects in signaling the insulin receptor (IR) protein tyrosine kinase. The inhibition phosphatases (PTPs) that antagonize IR may provide means for enhancing response alleviating resistance. prototypic phosphotyrosine-specific phosphatase PTP1B dephosphorylates attenuates muscle liver. Mice are deficient exhibit improved glucose homeostasis diet genetic models diabetes. TCPTP shares 72% catalytic domain sequence identity with has also been implicated regulation. Despite their high degree similarity, act together vitro vivo to regulate homeostasis. This review highlights capacity specifically nonredundantly cellular signaling, describes roles regulation homeostasis, discusses potential as drug targets enhancement phosphorylation sensitivity
