Gene information for PTPN4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5775
Official gene symbolPTPN4
Full nameprotein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 4 (megakaryocyte)
Aliases,PTPMEG,PTPMEG1,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family. PTPs are known to be signaling molecules that regulate a variety of cellular processes including cell growth, differentiation, mitotic cycle, and oncogenic transformation. This protein contains a C-terminal PTP domain and an N-terminal domain homologous to the band 4.1 superfamily of cytoskeletal-associated proteins. This PTP has been shown to interact with glutamate receptor delta 2 and epsilon subunits, and is thought to play a role in signalling downstream of the glutamate receptors through tyrosine dephosphorylation.
