Structural highlights
Function
[PTN1_HUMAN] Tyrosine-protein phosphatase which acts as a regulator of endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response. Mediates dephosphorylation of EIF2AK3/PERK; inactivating the protein kinase activity of EIF2AK3/PERK. May play an important role in CKII- and p60c-src-induced signal transduction cascades. May regulate the EFNA5-EPHA3 signaling pathway which modulates cell reorganization and cell-cell repulsion.[1] [2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
PTP-1B represents an attractive target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Given the role that protein phosphatases play in the regulation of many biologically relevant processes, inhibitors against PTP-1B must be not only potent, but also selective. It has been extremely difficult to synthesize inhibitors that are selective over the highly homologous TCPTP. We have successfully exploited the conservative Leu119 to Val substitution between the two enzymes to synthesize a PTP-1B inhibitor that is an order of magnitude more selective over TCPTP. Structural analyses of PTP-1B/inhibitor complexes show a conformation-assisted inhibition mechanism as the basis for selectivity. Such an inhibitory mechanism may be applicable to other homologous enzymes.
