Gene: PTPRR
Alternate names for this Gene: EC-PTP|PCPTP1|PTP-SL|PTPBR7|PTPRQ
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family. PTPs are known to be signaling molecules that regulate a variety of cellular processes including cell growth, differentiation, mitotic cycle, and oncogenic transformation. This PTP possesses an extracellular region, a single transmembrane region, and a single intracellular catalytic domain, and thus represents a receptor-type PTP. Silencing of this gene has been associated with colorectal cancer. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. This gene shares a symbol (PTPRQ) with another gene, protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type, Q (GeneID 374462), which is also located on chromosome 12.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 12
Location in Chromosome : 12q15
Description of this Gene: protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type R
Type of Gene: protein-coding
