The PTP has been implicated in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in the heart (Lim et al., 2011; Bibli et al., 2019), brain (Uchino et al., 2002; Schinzel et al., 2005), and kidney (Park et al., 2011; Yang et al., 2019), in neurodegenerative disorders (Warne et al., 2016), and in muscular dystrophies (Pato et al., 1983; Dubinin et al., 2020). This evidence concerns the gene SLC25A3 and muscular dystrophy.
