NCIt definition : Human SIRPA wild-type allele is located within 20p13 and is approximately 45 kb in
length. This allele, which encodes tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type
substrate 1 protein, is involved in the negative regulation of receptor tyrosine kinase-coupled
signaling processes.;
NCIt note : This gene encodes a member of the signal-regulatory-protein (SIRP) family, and also
belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. SIRP family members are receptor-type transmembrane
glycoproteins known to be involved in the negative regulation of receptor tyrosine
kinase-coupled signaling processes. Members of the SIRP family and related genes are
located in close proximity to each other on chromosome 20p13.;
