NCIt synonyms : Receptor Type Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase T; RPTP Rho; R-PTP-T; PTPRT; Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Type-T; EC 3.1.3.48; Receptor-Type Tyrosine-Protein Phosphatase Rho;
NCIt definition : Receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase T (1441 aa, 162 kDa) is encoded by the
human PTPRT gene. This protein is involved in cell-cell adhesion, signal transduction
and protein dephosphorylation.;
NCIt note : Receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase T is a receptor-type PTP with an extracellular
region containing 4 fibronectin type III domains, 1 Ig-like C2-type domain, and 1
MAM domain; a single transmembrane region; and 2 tandem intracellular PTP catalytic
domains. PTPRT may be involved in signal transduction and cellular adhesion in the
CNS.;
