Gene information for PTPN20B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID26095
Official gene symbolPTPN20B
Full nameprotein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 20B
Aliases,DKFZp566K0524,DKFZp781P23155,bA42B19.1,
Gene summaryThe product of this gene belongs to the family of classical tyrosine-specific protein tyrosine phosphatases. Many protein tyrosine phosphatases have been shown to regulate fundamental cellular processes and several are mutated in human diseases. Chromosome 10q contains a segmental duplication resulting in multiple copies of the protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 20 gene. The two nearly identical copies are designated as PTPN20A and PTPN20B. A third copy is only partially duplicated and contains a pseudogene, designated as PTPN20C. This gene encodes the more telomeric copy, PTPN20B. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
