BACKGROUND: The protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPN5, also known as Striatal enriched phosphatase (STEP) , is involved in the regulation of synaptic plasticity and neuronal cell survival, including MAPKs, Src family kinases and NMDA receptors (1) . It is expressed in dopaminoceptive neurons of the central nervous system and multiple forms of PTPN5 show differential enrichment in adult brain regions (2) . NMDA-mediated activation of PTPN5 is an important mechanism for regulation of Erk activity in neurons (3) . Furthermore, PTPN5 is involved in the regulation of both NMDAR and AMPAR trafficking (4, 5) . PTPN5 may play a role in Alzheimer's disease (1) .
