Rabbit anti-Human PTPN14 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q15678

Target Species

Human

Target Name

PTPN14

Target Full Name

Tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 14

Target Function

Protein tyrosine phosphatase which may play a role in the regulation of lymphangiogenesis, cell-cell adhesion, cell-matrix adhesion, cell migration, cell growth and also regulates TGF-beta gene expression, thereby modulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Mediates beta-catenin dephosphorylation at adhesion junctions. Acts as a negative regulator of the oncogenic property of YAP, a downstream target of the hippo pathway, in a cell density-dependent manner. May function as a tumor suppressor.

Target Involvement

Choanal atresia and lymphedema (CHATLY)

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Nucleus. Note=Translocation into the nucleus is associated with induction of cell proliferation. Partially colocalized with actin filaments at the plasma membrane.

Target Protein Families

Protein-tyrosine phosphatase family, Non-receptor class subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous.

Target Research Area

Signal Transduction

Target Synonyms

Cytoskeletal associated protein tyrosine phosphatase; MGC126803; PEZ; Phosphatase with ezrin domain; Protein tyrosine phosphatase non receptor type 14; Protein tyrosine phosphatase pez; Protein-tyrosine phosphatase pez; PTN14_HUMAN; PTP 36; PTP36; PTPD 2; PTPN 14; PTPN14; Tyrosine protein phosphatase non receptor type 14; Tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 14

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. This PTP contains an N-terminal noncatalytic domain similar to that of band 4.1 superfamily cytoskeleton-associated proteins, which suggested the membrane or cytoskeleton localization of this protein. It appears to regulate lymphatic development in mammals, and a loss of function mutation has been found in a kindred with a lymphedema-choanal atresia.
