Preferred Label : Myelin Protein Zero-Like 1;
NCIt synonyms : MPZL1; PZR; Protein Zero-Related; Myelin Protein Zero-Like-1 Protein;
NCIt definition : Myelin protein zero-like protein 1 (269 aa, 29 kDa) is encoded by the human MPZL1
gene. This protein is involved in both ligand binding and signal transduction.;
NCIt note : Widely expressed (highest in heart, placenta, kidney, and pancreas) by human MPZL1
Gene (Ig Superfamily), 269-aa 43-kD hyperphosphorylated cell surface membrane glycoprotein
Myelin Protein Zero-Like 1 Protein contains an N-terminal signal sequence, an extracellular
Ig-like domain with potential N-linked glycosylation sites, a single membrane-spanning
segment, and an intracellular pair of consensus immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory
motifs (ITIMs). Specifically binding through its ITIMs to tyrosine phosphatase PTPN11,
a positive transducer of growth factor signal transduction, MPZL1 is dephosphorylated
by PTPN11, but not by PTPN6, which has a negative role in hematopoietic cell proliferation.
Having 45.8% identity with Myelin Protein Zero, MPZL1 may have a role in cell signaling
via c-Src.;
