Rabbit polyclonal to PTPRAProtein Tyrosine Phosphatase Alpha, a R4 receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase, is implicated in neuron formation, retinal development, cell adhesion, potassium channel regulation, nerve repair, insulin signaling, and cell cycle regulation. Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Alpha activates the Src protein tyrosine kinase during mitosis, resulting in the transition from G2 to mitosis in the cell cycle. Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Alpha is associated with carcinomas of breast, colon, oral squamous cell and prostate. A cytosolic form of Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Alpha, p66 Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Alpha, has recently been isolated. p66 Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Alpha is produced by calpain-mediated proteolytic cleavage and its expression has been detected in nearly all cell types where Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Alpha is expressed. |
