This review outlines the physiology of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) and its potential involvement in the states of insulin resistance that characterizes both obesity and type 2 diabetes. The primary focus of this review is upon the elucidation of the role and control of PTP1B enzyme activity in obesity and type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, since selectivity and cell permeability are the two most important requirements for the development of successful PTP1B inhibitors, recent progress in finding compounds meeting these criteria are discussed. |
