The protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) super family of enzymes coordinately function with protein tyrosine kinases in signaling pathways that underlie a broad spectrum of fundamental physiological processes. Abnormal regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation or deregulation of phosphorylation is known to result in neoplastic or non-neoplastic diseases. Having evolved into separate families that are structurally and mechanistically distinct, PTPs have been implicated in a variety of diseases and efforts have been made to seek therapeutic clues from them. The phosphatases of regenerating liver (PRL) PRL-1, PRL-2, PRL-3 (also known as PTP4A1, PTP4A2, and PTP4A3, respectively) constitute a subfamily of the protein tyrosine phosphatases that have been suggested to play a key role in oncogenic and metastatic phenotypes.5 Here we review what is known about this novel class of small, prenylated phosphatases and its value in diagnosis and therapy of solid tumors.展开更多
