NCIt synonyms : Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase, Non-Receptor Type 1 wt Allele; PTP1B; PTP-1B;
NCIt definition : Human PTPN1 wild-type allele is located within 20q13.1-q13.2 and is approximately
74 kb in length. This allele, which encodes tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor
type 1 protein, is involved in the dephosphorylation of protein-tyrosine phosphates.
Functional PTPN1 gene polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to insulin
resistance.;
