Springer Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Control of Metabolism

Explore the complex role of protein tyrosine phosphatases in metabolic regulation with this specialized volume from Springer. This text provides a deep look into how PTP function affects metabolic control, offering essential insights for researchers and medical professionals studying cellular processes. The content covers the identification of new phosphatases involved in metabolic pathways and provides a detailed review of the tissue-specific effects of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B. Understanding these mechanisms is vital, as tyrosine phosphorylation acts as a rapid and reversible protein modification through the combined activities of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). As more PTPs are linked to human disease, this book serves as a valuable resource for understanding their biological impact. Whether you are studying metabolic control or the implications of protein modification in disease, this volume provides the scientific foundation necessary to grasp these critical biochemical interactions.
