Heart failure is the leading cause of death in the United States. By delineating the pathways that regulate cardiomyocyte function, we can better understand the pathogenesis of cardiac disease. Many cardiomyocyte signaling pathways activate protein tyrosine kinases. However, the role of specific protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) in these pathways is unknown.
