Brief description A common feature of type 2 diabetes is high blood glucose due to peripheral insulin resistance. Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) that antagonise insulin signalling might be important targets for therapeutic intervention in type 2 diabetes; inhibition of specific PTPs may allow for enhanced IR signalling to alleviate insulin resistance. This proposal will examine the roles of PTPs and in particular TCPTP in insulin signalling and glucose homeostasis.
