    text
  • in pancreatic beta cells, localized to the membrane of insulin-containing dense-core vesicles (Caromile 2010)
  • is localized at the membrane of secretory granules of pancreatic islet beta-cells
  • basic FUNCTION
  • implicated in development of nervous system and pancreatic endocrine cells
  • involved in insulin secretion in pancreatic beta-cells
  • PTPRN, PTPRN2 function is an essential regulator of autocrine insulin action in pancreatic beta-cells
  • with PTPRN, upregulate beta-cell transcription and proliferation (Suckale 2010)
  • functions as a phosphatidylinositol phosphatase that contributes to maintaining subcellular differences in levels of PIP that are important for regulating stimulus-coupled exocytosis of insulin (Caromile 2010)
  • plays a role in the regulation of insulin secretion, in ensuring proper granulogenesis and stability, and in the regulation of beta-cell growth
  • PTPRN, PTPRN2 are unique neuroendocrine-specific protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs)
  • expressed predominantly in endocrine and neuronal cells, where it functions in exocytosis
