    basic FUNCTION
  • tyrosine phosphatase, functioning as an oncogene in prostate cancer
  • promotes cell migration and invasion through an ERK-dependent signaling pathway
  • implicated in the control of cell proliferation and invasion
  • is required for extra-embryonic development
  • is likely required for spermatogenesis during testis development
  • PTP4A1, PTP4A2, PTP4A3 are key contributors to metastasis in several human cancers
  • pivotal role for PTP4A2 2 in regulating cellular magnesium homeostasis
  • oncogenic PTP4A2 controls tumor growth by modulating intracellular magnesium levels through binding with the CNNM3 magnesium transporter
  • plays critical roles in regulating hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal and mediating stem cell factor (SCF)/KIT signaling
  • is involved in cell-type-specific Mg(2+) homeostasis and its expression is potentially inversely regulated by dietary Mg(2+) levels

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • increases EPO and IL3 responses in hematopoietic cells
  • promotes AKT1 activation by down-regulating PTEN through the proteasome pathway
  • promotes KIT-mediated PI3K/Akt signaling by reducing the level of PTEN that normally antagonizes the pathway
  • regulates intracellular magnesium levels by forming a functional heterodimer with the magnesium transporter CNNM3
  • modulates intracellular Mg(2+) levels and sustains cancer phenotypes by binding to the Mg(2+) transporter CNNM3

    ability of PTP4A2 to repress PTEN expression qualifies it as an oncogene and a novel target for developing anti-cancer agents
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • Prl2-deficient male mice exhibit testicular hypotrophy and impaired spermatogenesis, leading to decreased reproductive capacity
