Function
Tyrosine phosphatase or Protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) is an enzyme which removes phosphate from phosphorylated tyrosine residues. It is a key regulatory component of signal transduction pathways[1]. PTPs are divided to 4 subfamilies.
- PTP class I contains receptor PTPs (RPTP) and dual-specificity PTP which removes phosphate from Ser/Thr and tyrosine. Human PTP PRL is found in regenerating liver.
- PTP class II are low molecular weight PTP (LMW-PTP) which dephosphorylate a number of growth factors and modulate their signalling processes[2].
- PTP class III contains CDC25 which removes phosphate from Thr and tyrosine. PTP containing SH2 domains are called PTP SHP.
- Yersinia PTP see Yersinia YopH.
- Non-receptor type PTPs are coded by the PTPN genes.
- T-cell PTP is a non-receptor type PTP expressed in hematopoietic tissues influencing most cells in the immune system[3].

Disease
PTP mutations are involved in cancers[4].
