Metabolic functions of the PTPase SHP-1 in insulin target tissues
FY 2011-12
Summary
We have recently shown that the protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1 is expressed in metabolic tissues and may be involved in the development of obesity-related complications such as type 2 diabetes and fatty liver disease. The main goal of this project is to clarify the mechanisms by which SHP-1 causes these metabolic complications which will help in the design of novel therapeutic strategies.
