Rabbit anti-Human PTPRN2 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-PTPRN2 antibody
PTPRN2 Antibody (N-term)
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 PTP possesses an extracellular
region, a single transmembrane region, and a single intracellular
catalytic domain, and thus represents a receptor-type PTP. The
catalytic domain of this PTP is most closely related to
PTPRN/IA-2beta. This PTP and PTPRN are both found to be major
autoantigens associated with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
Three alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene, which
encode distinct proteins, have been reported.

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein with sequence similarity to receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatases. However, tyrosine phosphatase activity has not been experimentally validated for this protein. Studies of the rat ortholog suggest that the encoded protein may instead function as a phosphatidylinositol phosphatase with the ability to dephosphorylate phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-diphosphate, and this function may be involved in the regulation of insulin secretion. This protein has been identified as an autoantigen in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]
