NCIt definition : Receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase eta (1337 aa, 146 kDa) is encoded by the
human PTPRJ gene. This protein plays a role in protein dephosphorylation, chemotaxis
and the negative regulation of receptor-mediated signaling, cell proliferation and
cell growth.;
NCIt note : Receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase eta is a receptor-type PTP with an extracellular
region containing 9 fibronectin type III repeats, a single transmembrane region, and
a single intracytoplasmic PTP catalytic domain. PTPRJ negatively regulates TCR signaling,
possibly by interfering with phosphorylation of PLCG1 and LAT. PTPRJ also dephosphorylates
the PDGF beta receptor, may be involved in UV-induced signal transduction, and may
contribute to contact inhibition of cell growth.;
