PTP1B Protein, Human (His)

PTP1B is an important tyrosine protein phosphatase that regulates the endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response by dephosphorylating EIF2AK3/PERK and inhibiting its kinase activity. It affects the signaling cascade induced by CKII and p60c-src, and may regulate the EFNA5-EPHA3 pathway, affecting cell reorganization. PTP1B Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived PTP1B protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His labeled tag. The total length of PTP1B Protein, Human (His) is 320 a.a., with molecular weight of ~38.1 kDa.

PTP1B, a tyrosine-protein phosphatase, serves as a key regulator of the endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response. It acts by mediating the dephosphorylation of EIF2AK3/PERK, thereby inactivating the protein kinase activity of EIF2AK3/PERK. PTP1B is implicated in potential roles within CKII- and p60c-src-induced signal transduction cascades. Moreover, it may exert regulatory influence over the EFNA5-EPHA3 signaling pathway, involved in cell reorganization and cell-cell repulsion. Additionally, PTP1B is suggested to modulate the hepatocyte growth factor receptor signaling pathway through its ability to dephosphorylate MET. These multifaceted functions underscore the versatility of PTP1B in orchestrating diverse cellular processes and signaling pathways.

Measured by its ability to dephosphorylate a phosphotyrosine residue in an EGF receptor (aa988-998) phosphopeptide substrate and the specific activity is > 15 nmoles/min/μg.
