Rabbit anti-Human PTPRF Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P10586

Target Species

Human

Target Name

PTPRF

Target Full Name

Receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase F

Target Function

Possible cell adhesion receptor. It possesses an intrinsic protein tyrosine phosphatase activity (PTPase) and dephosphorylates EPHA2 regulating its activity.; The first PTPase domain has enzymatic activity, while the second one seems to affect the substrate specificity of the first one.

Target Involvement

Aplasia or hypoplasia of the breasts and/or nipples 2 (BNAH2)

Target Subcellular Location

Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Protein-tyrosine phosphatase family, Receptor class 2A subfamily

Target Synonyms

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 possesses an extracellular region, a single transmembrane region, and two tandem intracytoplasmic catalytic domains, and thus represents a receptor-type PTP. The extracellular region contains three Ig-like domains, and nine non-Ig like domains similar to that of neural-cell adhesion molecule. This PTP was shown to function in the regulation of epithelial cell-cell contacts at adherents junctions, as well as in the control of beta-catenin signaling. An increased expression level of this protein was found in the insulin-responsive tissue of obese, insulin-resistant individuals, and may contribute to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene, which encode distinct proteins, have been reported.
