Our laboratory works on characterizing the function and regulation of several members of the Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (PTP) gene family using both biochemical and genetic approaches.
Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases (PTPases) have been implicated in a variety of cellular processes such as cell growth, differentiation, and cancer. The nature of these enzymes suggests that they may be involved in cancer by acting either as anti-oncogenes or as oncogenes themselves. There is also evidence to suggest that PTPases are involved in mammalian development.
