Abstract
Shp2, encoded by Ptpn11, is a non-receptor tyrosine phosphatase that contains two Src-homology 2 domains within its structure. Previous biochemical and biological analyses indicate that this enzyme participates in signaling events elicited by various growth factors, cytokines, antigens, and hormones. Recent experiments using the cell type-specific gene knockout approaches in mice have revealed its critical roles in control of metabolism in mammals. In the central nervous system, Shp2 positively transmits leptin signals and may do so by association with the estrogen receptor α, influencing control of food intake, energy expenditure, and body weight. In pancreatic β-cells, Shp2 coordinates multiple pathways to regulate biosynthesis and secretion of insulin in control of glucose homeostasis. Herein we summarize the metabolic functions of Shp2 in the hypothalamus and pancreas.
