Recombinant Human PTPN2/PTPT Protein

Recombinant Human PTPN2/PTPT Protein

• Background: Tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 2; also known as T-cell protein-tyrosine phosphatase; PTPN2 and PTPT; is a cytoplasm protein which belongs to theprotein-tyrosine phosphatase family and Non-receptor class 1 subfamily. Members of the protein tyrosine phosphatase ( PTP ) family share a highly conserved catalytic motif; which is essential for the catalytic activity. TC-PTP / PTPN2 is a cytosolic tyrosine phosphatase that functions as a negative regulator of a variety of tyrosine kinases and other signaling proteins. The expression of TC-PTP / PTPN2 plays a role of tumor suppressor and may modulate response to treatment. PTPs are known to be signaling molecules that regulate a variety of cellular processes including cell growth; differentiation; mitotic cycle; and oncogenic transformation. Epidermal growth factor receptor and the adaptor protein Shc were reported to be substrates of this PTP; which suggested the roles in growth factor mediated cell signaling. TC-PTP / PTPN2 is an enzyme that is essential for the proper functioning of the immune system and that participates in the control of cell proliferation; and inflammation.TC-PTP / PTPN2 was identified as a negative regulator of NUP214-ABL1 kinase activity.
