Synthetic peptide 1142–1153 of the insulin receptor was phosphorylated on tyrosine by the insulin receptor and found to be a potent substrate for dephosphorylation by rat liver particulate and soluble phosphotyrosyl protein phosphatases. Apparent K m values were $ ̃ 5 μM. V m values (nmol phosphate...
