Tyrosine-protein phosphatase which acts as a regulator of endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response. Mediates dephosphorylation of EIF2AK3/PERK; inactivating the protein kinase activity of EIF2AK3/PERK. May play an important role in CKII- and p60c-src-induced signal transduction cascades. May regulate the EFNA5-EPHA3 signaling pathway which modulates cell reorganization and cell-cell repulsion. May also regulate the hepatocyte growth factor receptor signaling pathway through dephosphorylation of MET.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is an enzyme involved in the dephosphorylation of tyrosine residues in proteins. Known also as PTPN1 this protein has a molecular weight of approximately 50 kDa. PTP1B is widely expressed in tissues but is highly present in the liver muscle and adipose tissue. It plays a critical role in regulating signal transduction pathways by removing phosphate groups from phosphotyrosine residues on target proteins. This action generally serves as a 'turn-off' switch for various signaling pathways.
PTP1B plays important roles in glucose and lipid metabolism. It is not generally considered a part of a complex functioning instead as a singular enzyme. Its main action involves the negative regulation of the insulin signaling pathway by dephosphorylating the insulin receptor as well as its associated substrates. This regulation helps maintain normal levels of insulin sensitivity influencing cellular glucose uptake and metabolism.
PTP1B has important functions in the insulin and leptin signaling pathways. It has a regulatory influence in these pathways affecting key metabolic processes. In the insulin signaling pathway PTP1B closely interacts with the insulin receptor as well as with insulin receptor substrates (IRS). Its dephosphorylating activity can lead to decreased insulin sensitivity. In the leptin pathway PTP1B modulates leptin signaling by dephosphorylating the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) another protein involved in the control of energy balance and metabolism.
Excessive activity of PTP1B links with disorders such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. Overactivity of PTP1B can lead to insulin resistance contributing to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. In obesity PTP1B may interfere with the normal activity of leptin a hormone critical for regulating energy balance. Its interaction with the insulin receptor and JAK2 makes PTP1B a target for therapeutic interventions aimed at improving insulin sensitivity and energy homeostasis.
