PTPDC1 protein tyrosine phosphatase domain containing 1

Gene ID: 138639, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PTP9Q22

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene contains a characteristic motif of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). PTPs regulate activities of phosphoproteins through dephosphorylation. They are signaling molecules involved in the regulation of a wide variety of biological processes. The specific function of this protein has not yet been determined. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
