PTP epsilon Proteins and Enzymes

PTP epsilon, an R4 receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase, is composed of a short extracellular and two cyplasmic protein phosphatase domains and has been shown to affect neuronal differentiation, endothelial cell growth, vascular development, and possibly mammary tumor development. It has been shown that the cytosolic form of PTP epsilon can be induced by IL-1 and TNF alpha in humans and is a negative regulator of IL-6- and LIF-induced Jak-STAT kinase signaling in rats.
