Background

Tyrosine phosphorylation plays a critical role in many physiological processes. There is a fine balance between phosphorylation caused by protein tyrosine kinases and actions of protein tyrosine phosphatases, that regulates these physiological processes. Striatal enriched phosphatase (STEP) is part of a family of protein tyrosine phosphatases enriched within the CNS and is a component of the NMDAR complex. It is expressed within dopaminoceptive neurons in the CNS and particularly enriched within the basal ganglia and related structures.STEP61 is a membrane-associated isoform and STEP46 is a cytosolic protein. In response to transient hypoxia-ischemia in the brain, STEP61 is proteolytically cleaved by calpain, thereby releasing a smaller isoform, STEP33.
