Receptor Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases (RPTPs) are characterized by:
- An extracellular domain that can bind to ligands
- A transmembrane region
- One or more intracellular phosphatase domains
The primary function of RPTPs is to remove phosphate groups from tyrosine residues on target proteins, thereby modulating signaling cascades within cells
Receptor Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases (RPTPs) are transmembrane proteins for cell communication. In the insulin receptor signaling cascade, the activities of protein tyrosine kinases and phosphatases are coordinated, thus, protein tyrosine kinases amplify the insulin signaling response, whereas phosphatases are required for the regulation of the rate and duration of …
