Gene information for PTPN20A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID653129
Official gene symbolPTPN20A
Full nameprotein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 20A
Aliases,CT126,MGC142033,PTPN20B,bA142I17.1,hPTPN20,
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 centromeric copy, PTPN20A. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
