Protein-tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP1B) has been implicated in the negative regulation of insulin signaling. The expression, activity, and functional role of PTP1B in the retina are unknown. In this study, the authors examined the relationship between the retinal insulin receptor (IR) and PTP1B in normal and diabetic mouse retinas.
