The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the
protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family. PTPs are known to be
signaling molecules that regulate a variety of cellular processes
including cell growth, differentiation, mitotic cycle, and
oncogenic transformation. This PTP possesses an extracellular
region, a single transmembrane region, and a single catalytic
domain, and thus represents a receptor-type PTP. This PTP was found
to be an autoantigen that is reactive with insulin-dependent
diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patient sera, and thus may be a potential
target of autoimmunity in diabetes mellitus.1) Yu, L., et al. J. Immunol. Methods 353 (1-2), 20-23 (2010) :
