Rabbit anti-Human PTPRE Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P23469

Target Species

Human

Target Name

PTPRE

Target Full Name

Receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase epsilon

Target Function

Isoform 1 plays a critical role in signaling transduction pathways and phosphoprotein network topology in red blood cells. May play a role in osteoclast formation and function.; Isoform 2 acts as a negative regulator of insulin receptor (IR) signaling in skeletal muscle. Regulates insulin-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor (IR) and insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1), phosphorylation of protein kinase B and glycogen synthase kinase-3 and insulin induced stimulation of glucose uptake.; Isoform 1 and isoform 2 act as a negative regulator of FceRI-mediated signal transduction leading to cytokine production and degranulation, most likely by acting at the level of SYK to affect downstream events such as phosphorylation of SLP76 and LAT and mobilization of Ca(2+).

Target Subcellular Location

[Isoform 1]: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.; [Isoform 2]: Cytoplasm.; [Isoform 3]: Cytoplasm.

Target Protein Families

Protein-tyrosine phosphatase family, Receptor class 4 subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in giant cell tumor (osteoclastoma rich in multinucleated osteoclastic cells).

Target Synonyms

PTPRE; Receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase epsilon; Protein-tyrosine phosphatase epsilon; R-PTP-epsilon

Target Background

The 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. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been reported, at least two of which encode a receptor-type PTP that possesses a short extracellular domain, a single transmembrane region, and two tandem intracytoplasmic catalytic domains; another one encodes a PTP that contains a distinct hydrophilic N-terminus, and thus represents a nonreceptor-type isoform of this PTP. Studies of the similar gene in mice suggested the regulatory roles of this PTP in RAS related signal transduction pathways, cytokine-induced SATA signaling, as well as the activation of voltage-gated K+ channels.
