protein tyrosine phosphatase, Non-Receptor type 22 - CISMeF
Protein tyrosine phosphatase, Non-Receptor type 22MeSH Descriptor
Preferred Label : protein tyrosine phosphatase, Non-Receptor type 22;
MeSH definition : A subtype of non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases that is characterized by the
presence of an N-terminal catalytic domain and a C-terminal PROLINE-rich domain. The
phosphatase subtype is predominantly expressed in LYMPHOCYTES and plays a key role
in the inhibition of downstream T-LYMPHOCYTE activation. Polymorphisms in the gene
that encodes this phosphatase subtype are associated with a variety of AUTOIMMUNE
DISEASES.;
