MDP1 is a magnesium-dependent enzyme, meaning it requires magnesium ions to function properly . It exhibits phosphatase activity, specifically acting on tyrosine residues . This activity is essential for regulating various cellular processes, including signal transduction and metabolic pathways.
One of the key roles of MDP1 is in the fructosamine metabolic process, where it dephosphorylates fructosamine-6-phosphate . This function is vital for maintaining cellular homeostasis and proper metabolic function.
MDP1 is widely used in biochemical and biomedical research to study its role in cellular processes and its potential implications in various diseases. Understanding the function and regulation of MDP1 can provide insights into metabolic disorders and other conditions where phosphatase activity is disrupted.
