    text
  • extrinsic to membrane
  • located at the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane
  • basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the junctions between the membrane and the cytoskeleton
  • capable of dephosphorylating the TCR ITAMs and regulating NF-kappaB, and is dispensable for T cell development and/or T cell effector functions
  • with PTPN3 are dispensable for TCR signal transduction
  • regulating tyrosine dephosphorylation (important for both motor learning and cerebellar synaptic plasticity)
  • having a a regulatory role in T cell activation
  • may be involved in regulation of the membrane cytoskeleton, signal transduction, or both
