PTPRQ protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type Q

Gene ID: 374462, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DFNA73; DFNB84; DFNB84A; PTPGMC1; R-PTP-Q

Summary

This locus encodes a member of the type III receptor-like protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. The encoded protein catalyzes the dephosphorylation of phosphotyrosine and phosphatidylinositol and plays roles in cellular proliferation and differentiation. Mutations at this locus have been linked to autosomal recessive deafness. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]
