| ncRNA Symbol: | PTPN12 | | Full Name: | protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 12 | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | PTP-PEST|PTPG1 | | Chromosome: | chr7 | | Strand: | + | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 77537275 | End Site(bp): | 77640071 | | | Gene Summary: | The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family. PTPs are signaling molecules that regulate a variety of cellular processes including cell growth, differentiation, mitotic cycle, and oncogenic transformation. This PTP contains a C-terminal PEST motif, which serves as a protein-protein interaction domain, and may regulate protein intracellular half-life. This PTP was found to bind and dephosphorylate the product of the oncogene c-ABL and thus may play a role in oncogenesis. This PTP was also shown to interact with, and dephosphorylate, various products related to cytoskeletal structure and cell adhesion, such as p130 (Cas), CAKbeta/PTK2B, PSTPIP1, and paxillin. This suggests it has a regulatory role in controlling cell shape and mobility. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
