  2. 1. T-Cell Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase, a Regulator of the PDGF Signaling Pathway

    Author : Susann Karlsson; Carina Hellberg; Carl-Henrik Heldin; Bengt Hallberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PDGF; TC-PTP; receptor trafficking; PK-M2; Medical cell biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi; molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology;

    Abstract : Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent stimulator of cell growth, survival and motility. PDGF exerts its function by binding to specific tyrosine kinase receptors, initiating receptor auotphosphorylation and initiation of specific signaling pathways that regulates the cellular response.

  4. 2. Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases as Regulators of Receptor Ryrosine Kinases

    Author : Camilla Persson; Arne Östman; Niels Peter Moller; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; protein tyrosine phosphatase; tyrosine kinase; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology;

    Abstract : Tyrosine phosphorylation is a crucial mechanism in cellular signaling and regulates proliferation, differentiation, migration and adhesion. The phosphorylation reaction is reversible and is governed by two families of enzymes: protein tyrosine kinases and protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). READ MORE

  5. 3. Redox-regulation of PTPs : mechanisms and impact on PDGFR signaling

    Author : Markus Dagnell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are reversibly oxidized upon activation of platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFβR). Dys-regulation of the PDGFβR signaling pathway is associated with several diseases, including cancers and cardiovascular disease, and is thus a known driver of disease progression. READ MORE
