Recombinant Receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase zeta (PTPRZ1), Truncated

Uniprot Id

P23471

Target Species

Human

Target Name

PTPRZ1

Target Full Name

Receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase zeta

Target Function

Protein tyrosine phosphatase that negatively regulates oligodendrocyte precursor proliferation in the embryonic spinal cord. Required for normal differentiation of the precursor cells into mature, fully myelinating oligodendrocytes. May play a role in protecting oligondendrocytes against apoptosis. May play a role in the establishment of contextual memory, probably via the dephosphorylation of proteins that are part of important signaling cascades.

Target Subcellular Location

[Isoform 1]: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Secreted.; [Isoform 2]: Secreted.

Target Protein Families

Protein-tyrosine phosphatase family, Receptor class 5 subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Specifically expressed in the central nervous system, where it is localized in the Purkinje cell layer of the cerebellum, the dentate gyrus, and the subependymal layer of the anterior horn of the lateral ventricle. Developmentally regulated in the brain.
