Phosphatase Classification: Superfamily Cys-based III: Family LMWPTP
Function
In eukaryotes, LMWPTP dephosphorylates many receptor tyrosine kinases, such as platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), insulin receptor (InsR), or ephrin receptor (Eph) [1].
In prokaryotes, the molecular function is not fully understood. It is involved in the syntheisis and translocation of exopolysaccharides (EPS) and capsular polysaccharides (CPS) in E. coli.
Evolution
The LMWPTP is present not only in eukaryotes but also prokaryotes. In eukaryotes, it is generally absent from alveolates, trypanosoma, leishmania.
