motifs/domains
a single catalytic domain in its cytoplasmic region
  • multiple fibronectin type III-like domains in its extracellular region
  • a hydrophobic transmembrane (TM)
  • a single intracellular tyrosine phosphatase domain
  • HOMOLOGY
    intraspecies homolog to PTPU2-LSB from glomerular epithelial podocyte membrane protein
    Homologene

    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in cellular differentiation processes
  • may be involved in axon guidance both as a ligand and as a neuronal receptor
  • implicated in the guidance of motor and retinal axons
  • required for peptidergic differentiation and process outgrowth of sensory neurons, as well as mature sensory function
  • implicated in axon growth and guidance during embryonic development
  • is a potential target gene of Wnt/CTNNB1 signaling and may function as a novel receptor for WNT
  • role of PTPRO in learning and memory
  • is a novel regulator of mammary epithelial transformation, a potential tumor suppressor, and a predictive biomarker for breast cancer
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, differentiation

    protein
  • role of TCL1A in PTPROt suppression, important in the pathogenesis ofchronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
  • ERBB2/HER2 is a direct substrate of PTPRO and loss of PTPRO increased ERBB2-induced cell proliferation and transformation, together with tyrosine phosphorylation of ERBB2

    Marker
  • PTPRO promoter hypermethylation as a potential biomarker in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC)
  • PTPRO expression may be a useful marker of podocyte injury in immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), and may be predictive of clinical and pathological severity
  • Therapy target
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • in Ptpro mutant mice, subsets of trigeminal ganglion neurons grow longer and more elaborate axonal branches
