protein-tyrosine phosphatase mitochondrial 1 Protein-tyrosine phosphatase mitochondrial 1 or PTP localized to the mitochondrion 1 (PTPMT1), also called phosphoinositide lipid phosphatase (PLIP), phosphatidylglycerophosphatase and protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1, or PTEN-like phosphatase, is a lipid phosphatase or phosphatidylglycerophosphatase (EC 3.1.3.27) which dephosphorylates phosphatidylglycerophosphate (PGP) to phosphatidylglycerol (PG). It is targeted to the mitochondrion by an N-terminal signal sequence and is found anchored to the matrix face of the inner membrane. It is essential for the biosynthesis of cardiolipin, a mitochondrial-specific phospholipid regulating the membrane integrity and activities of the organelle. PTPMT1 also plays a crucial role in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function, and has been shown to display activity toward phosphoprotein substrates.
