Protein-Tyrosine-Phosphatase 1B (Molecule of the Month for April 2001)

Screensaver Lifesaver Proteins



This is one of the protein tyrosine phosphatases which play a role in regulating cellular events. It is conceivable that inhibition of this protein will enable apoptosis (death of cancer cells).
