NCIt synonyms : PRL-R; PRL-3; Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Type IVA, Member 3 wt Allele; Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase, Type 4A, 3 Gene; PRL3; Protein-Tyrosine Phosphatase, Type 4A, 3 Gene;
NCIt definition : Human PTP4A3 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 8q24.3 and is approximately
40 kb in length. This allele, which encodes protein tyrosine phosphatase type IVA
3 protein, is involved in protein phosphatase activity, progression of the cell cycle
and promotion of cell proliferation and cell motility. Aberrant expression of the
gene is associated with tumor metastasis.;
