PTER

PTER (Phosphotriesterase-related protein): Analogous to MMP15's involvement in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, PTER plays a crucial role in cellular detoxification and metabolism regulation. As a member of the phosphotriesterase-related protein family, PTER is involved in the breakdown of various chemical compounds, including organophosphate pesticides and nerve agents. Its enzymatic activity contributes to the detoxification of these harmful substances, thereby protecting cells from chemical damage. Additionally, PTER has been implicated in cellular signaling pathways and metabolic processes, suggesting broader roles beyond detoxification. Dysregulation of PTER expression or activity can have detrimental effects, leading to increased susceptibility to chemical toxicity and metabolic...
