Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is an enzyme that removes phosphate groups covalently attached to tyrosine residues in proteins. This ubiquitously expressed enzyme is anchored in the endoplasmic reticulum by its C-terminal end and has its catalytic regions exposed to the cytosol. PTP1B will dephosphorylate a wide variety of phosphoproteins, such as receptors for the growth factors insulin and epidermal growth factor (EGF), c-Src and beta -catenin. Of particular interest is the observation that PTP1B knock-out mice are resistant to high-caloric intake-induced obesity and have exaggerated insulin responses, suggesting that PTP1B may play an important role in regulating growth factor responsiveness.

Scientific Data Images for Human PTP1B Antibody
Detection of Human PTP1B by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of TF-1 human erythroleukemic cell line and CHP-100 human neuroblastoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.05 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human PTP1B Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF13662) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF017). A specific band was detected for PTP1B at approximately 50 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
Western Blot Shows Human PTP1B Specificity by Using Knockout Cell Line.
Western blot shows lysates of HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma parental cell line and PTP1B knockout HeLa cell line (KO). PVDF membrane was probed with 0.3 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human PTP1B Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF13662) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF017). A specific band was detected for PTP1B at approximately 52 kDa (as indicated) in the parental HeLa cell line, but is not detectable in knockout HeLa cell line. GAPDH (Catalog # AF5718) is shown as a loading control. This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
