'''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<ref>PMID:14625689</ref>. PTPs are divided to 4 subfamilies. | '''Tyrosine phosphatase''' or '''Protein tyrosine phosphatase''' (PTP) is an enzyme which removes phosphate from phosphorylated tyrosine residues.
