Journal ArticleDOI

Increased insulin sensitivity and obesity resistance in mice lacking the protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B gene.

TL;DR: In this article, the mouse homolog of the gene encoding PTP-1B yielded healthy mice that, in the fed state, had blood glucose concentrations that were slightly lower and concentrations of circulating insulin that were one-half those of their PTP−1B+/+ littermates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeted ablation of the 25-hydroxyvitamin D 1α-hydroxylase enzyme: Evidence for skeletal, reproductive, and immune dysfunction

TL;DR: A critical role for the 1α(OH)ase enzyme is established in mineral and skeletal homeostasis as well as in female reproduction and also point to an important role in regulating immune function.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Ity/Lsh/Bcg locus: natural resistance to infection with intracellular parasites is abrogated by disruption of the Nramp1 gene.

TL;DR: Targeted disruption of Nramp1 has pleiotropic effects on natural resistance to infection with intracellular parasites, as it eliminated resistance to Mycobacterium bovis, Leishmania donovani, and lethal Salmonella typhimurium infection, establishing that Nramps1, Bcg, Lsh, and Ity are the same locus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Attenuation of Leptin Action and Regulation of Obesity by Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B

TL;DR: It is suggested that PTP1B negatively regulates leptin signaling, and provide one mechanism by which it may regulate obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TYK2 and JAK2 Are Substrates of Protein-tyrosine Phosphatase 1B

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that (E/D)-pY-pY-(R/K) is a consensus substrate recognition motif for PTP1B and that the substrate recognition site within theses kinases is similar to the site of dephosphorylation previously identified within the insulin receptor.
