Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B deficiency potentiates PERK/eIF2α signaling in brown adipocytes.

Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a physiological regulator of glucose homeostasis and body mass, and has been implicated in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Herein, we assess the role of PTP1B in ER stress in brown adipocytes, which are key regulators of thermogenesis and metabolic respo...
